Hi Dong,

Not relevant to this patch - just an observation!

Just came across this thread and took a look at the hardware. I see
some of the timers (particularly the flextimers) support quadrature
encoder modes.  Just thought I'd point you at some on going discussions
on the IIO list (linux-iio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) trying to improve the
interface for such devices.  Might be of interest (or not depending on
whether support for that functionality is of interest!)
