Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] staging: iio: frequency: ad9834: Move frequency to standard iio types

From: Bia, Beniamin
Date: Fri Feb 22 2019 - 08:10:44 EST


Thank you for taking some time reviewing my code.
Ad9833/ad9834 has two frequency and phase registers and only one
output. The user can select which register is selected as input with a
mux.Because I wanted to reduce as much as possible the custom
attributes, I mapped the frequency 0 from register to channel 0 and
frequency 1 to channel 1. Same rule applies for phase.

In order to keep the same structure as before: out_altvoltage0_frequency0 and out_altvoltage1_frequency1, we would have to create custom attributes for every frequency and phase value. This is the only way as far as I know, but I don't have a lot of experience with iio. What is your opinion? Do you have a better solution?

Thanks,
Ben
