Hi Robert,

Note I review drivers backwards, so comments may make more sense that

Not really on this one. You support using them as a trigger, which
is not how threshold events should be handled in IIO. Please
report them as events. This device doesn't seem to have
a trigger that can be used in general, so you shouldn't provide
one.

Userspace can use the event to decide to do a read if it wants to
follow the classic move the thresholds so as to detect big
'changes' in light intensity.

Various other comments inline. Quite a bit of style cleanup
needed as well, please check the kernel docs for coding style
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst

Also take a look at other IIO drivers for the bits that are
noted in there as varying across the kernel.

Whilst there is quite a bit to work on in here yet, great to see
support for this new part! Looking forward to v2.

Unless used more than once, no point in defines like this. Just put
the string inline.

These are complex enough that a few small functions with documentation
would be better than macros.

If there is only one value, don't provide the avail stuff
and just put the value in directly where used.

What is this mutex protecting?

returns 0 on success. So do
if (ret) as it'll prove simpler to follow for handling later.

Make sure to get rid of all the brackets where kernel style doesn't have them.
Basically any single statements if or else blocks (or simiilar).

We have lots of event config, but they are actually controlling the
trigger. The device doesn't generate any iio events at all that I can see.

As suggested above, write_reg should clearly only return 0 or negative.
you can just do
return max440..

Except the timestamp needs to be 64 bit aligned so this isn't big enough.
All elements in IIO buffers are 'naturally' aligned. so 32 bit is
aligned to 32 bits, 64 to 64 bits.

If these reads are necessary, then add comments on why.

Do we support shared interrupt lines? Doesn't look like it, which means
it 'probably was' generate by this device, but we don't know why because the value
has changed.

Returning IRQ_NONE is a bad idea unless we are pretty sure it is a spurious
interrupt, or we have a shared interrupt line. It will ultimately result
in your interrupt being disable by the kernel and all activity breaking.

There is also a perfectly good register to tell use if we generated the interrupt.
Read that one and use that, not this racey approach.

We have a standard core function to do this..
iio_pollfunc_store_time.

There 'might' be a reason to do it differently depending
on whether you really need it to be that good if you
can't identify whether it is your interrupt until the
interrupt thread.

This is wrong. The interrupt handler should call the iio_trigger_poll functions
to cause the trigger handlers for all attached devices to be called.

If for some reason the trigger is only suitable for use by this device
then things get more blurred, but if not, the interrupt handler itself
should establish that the interrupt is the data ready signal and call
iio_trigger_poll. If it is in a thread, call iio_trigger_poll_chained.

The interrupt should be cleared (if it hasn't naturally happened for
some other reason, in the trigger try_reenable callback.

It's going to change anyway (see below) but note kernel style is no
brackets when only one item in an block like this.

Without the mutex destroy these all just become return ret;

mutex destroy is only really useful for lock debugging. Given we don't
leave anything behind here anyway, it just makes the flow more complex
for no gain. We very rarely bother with it as a result.

Please drop. MODULE_VERSION provides very little useful info
and tends to lead to people assuming it does.

Userspace has no obligation to ever look at it and we can't
break userspace that doesn't so it doesn't provide any value.
