[RFC PATCH 0/5] iio: buffer: add output buffer and cyclic mode

[Alexandru Ardelean]

Largely, an adaptation of Lars' work, applied on the IIO multi-buffer
support + high-speed/mmap support [1].
Found here:
  https://github.com/larsclausen/linux/commits/iio-high-speed-5.10
But this isn't tested.

[1] Requires that these sets be applied (in this order):
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20210211122452.78106-1-alexandru.ardelean@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t
* https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/20210212101143.18993-1-alexandru.ardelean@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

Some of the variation from the original work are:
1. It's applied on top of the multibuffer support; so the direction of the
   data is set per iio_buffer, and not iio_dev
2. Cyclic mode is a separate patch
3. devm_iio_dmaengine_buffer_alloc() requires the definition of
   'enum iio_buffer_direction'; which means that 'linux/iio/buffer.h'
   needs to be included in  buffer-dma.h; Lars tried to use a bool, but
   using the enum seems a bit more consistent and allows us to maybe
   go down the route of both I/O buffers (some day); not sure if
   that's sane or not (you never know)
4. Various re-formatting; and added some docstrings where I remembered
   to so so

Lars-Peter Clausen (5):
  iio: Add output buffer support
  iio: kfifo-buffer: Add output buffer support
  iio: buffer-dma: Allow to provide custom buffer ops
  iio: buffer-dma: Add output buffer support
  iio: buffer-dma: add support for cyclic DMA transfers
