Support for the ROHM BM1390 pressure sensor. The BM1390GLV-Z can measure
pressures ranging from 300 hPa to 1300 hPa with configurable measurement
averaging and internal FIFO. The sensor does also provide temperature
measurements.

Sensor does also contain IIR filter implemented in HW. The data-sheet
says the IIR filter can be configured to be "weak", "middle" or
"strong". Some RMS noise figures are provided in data sheet but no
accurate maths for the filter configurations is provided. Hence, the IIR
filter configuration is not supported by this driver and the filter is
configured to the "middle" setting (at least not for now).

*sigh* We all love fuzzily described filters...


The FIFO measurement mode is only measuring the pressure and not the
temperature. The driver measures temperature when FIFO is flushed and
simply uses the same measured temperature value to all reported
temperatures. This should not be a problem when temperature is not
changing very rapidly (several degrees C / second) but allows users to
get the temperature measurements from sensor without any additional logic.

IIRC this is a bit different from what we've typically done in the past
where we just take the view that a slow moving thing like temperature
can be read from sysfs or that enabling it disables the watermark.

However, what you have seems like valid use of the ABI to me so I'm
fine with this approach if it makes sense for your expected users
(which you get to guess at ;)

Given there are multiple ways of handling combination of FIFO hardware
and triggers, it's good to add a little bit of info on that in this
patch description (I misunderstood what you were doing initially)

My idea is that the sensor can either be used in two ways,

1. With trigger (data-ready IRQ). In this case the FIFO is not used as we get data ready for each collected sample. Instead, for each data-ready IRQ we read the sample from sensor and push it to the IIO buffer.

2. With hardware FIFO and watermark IRQ. In this case the data-ready is not used but we enable watermark IRQ. At each watermark IRQ we go and read all samples in FIFO and push them to the IIO buffer.

Do you mean the commit message should explain this?

It's definitely possible to argue a watermark of 1 is also supported - just
run in bypass mode with data ready interrupt. Not sure we care enough to
make that supported in this interface though. Driver doesn't need to
support everything possible.

True. I'm not sure this is worth the complexity though. It'd mean we had to support DRDY when in FIFO mode - iff watermark is 1. Currently we don't need to bother the DRDY or FIFO disabling when in FIFO mode.

As below. Still our interrupt even if we couldn't read the data
As such, IRQ_HANDLED; is current reutrn value.

I've learned a hard way that it can be a very good idea to return IRQ_NONE if HW access fails in IRQ handling. If we don't (can't) ack the IRQ line, we'll be sitting in IRQ handler. The feature which disables local IRQ after <N> unhandled IRQs has made a huge difference when I've received bug reports from people. Being able to access the device when the 'wild' IRQ gets disabled and being able to retrieve the logs is priceless. Also, seeing the 'nobody cares, disabling IRQ' in the log is a really valuable hint :)

An error should not result in IRQ_NONE. At most we tend to print
an error message and return IRQ_HANDLED anyway to avoid the interrupt
being treated as spurious.

The same story here. If we can't read the samples from the FIFO, we'll end up having new watermark IRQ immediately when the oneshot thread exits. Returning the IRQ none allows genirq core to disable the host side of the IRQ, allowing us to see the 'nobody cared' and go get the logs even with single core system.

Why not? Spec reference ideally. I haven't gotten my head around this
but I'd expect an attempt to set the trigger state to indicate that we don't
want to use the fifo and as such it should be disabled in this path.

This may be my limited understanding of how IIO is typically used. To me it sounded a bit strange that someone setting trigger could abort an ongoing buffered measurement. I would have expected the buffering to be explicitly disabled by user before allowing the trigger to be used. Especially because the trigger and FIFO are pretty much exclusive features (as with data-ready trigger you'll get each individual sample read). My assumption was that an attempt to enable data-ready when FIFO was in use is a misconfiguration.

Is this a trigger characteristic? Feels more like a feature of enabling buffering.
Ah well. That's always a blurry boundary so it is probably fine here.

Well, the mode needs to be set to continuous even for a single shot measurement when IIR filter is used. Furthermore, if we use the single-shot mode, then the mode must be re-written to register after every colleted sample. Hence we set the continuous mode also when trigger is used.

It might be we could set this mode already at probe and forget it then. Well, maybe it has some impact to power consumption (?) so perhaps we just leave the continuous mode to be enabled for all, triggered, FIFO and raw sample collections.

ret set but not checked...

In my head at least, if we are using fifo_full it is still a watermark but one
that matches size of buffer.
I think for previous drivers we've had 0 and 1 both meaning it's a dataready
interrupt (i.e. one entry in the fifo). That would be fine here as well
and would correspond to putting the device in bypass mode.

Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense.
Meanwhile I was reading the spec and I think the FIFO_FULL usage with this IC is like asking for a nose-bleed. FIFO_FULL IRQ is acked by reading the status - and if data is not read from the FIFO, then the status will remain cleared (and I assume also the IRQ line will stay low). I assume it's easy enough to write a code that acks the IRQ while leaving the buffer full - and effectively killing the FIFO_FULL IRQ. No more samples for you then.

The triggered buffer setup should set the second of these inside
the IIO core code (as it always needs to be set if that code is called).

Right. Thanks.

I don't mind seeing this but I do want it to have a comment saying 'why'.
I assume there is something really slow involved in probing this?

I wouldn't say there is anything really slow. What I have gathered is:

1) The grand idea is that at the end of the day (week, month, year) async probing should be the default when it causes no problems.

2) Problems are rare (although they may exist).

3) All regulator drivers were changes (or suggested to be changed) to do async probing because for example the ramp-rates may be slow.

4) This driver enables the VDD supply - with potentially slow ramp-rate (well, the I need to guess user's setups statement holds again) so it may potentially take a while (probably not long though).

5) We have a few msleeps() in bm1390_chip_init() - which are likely to result a sleep tens of milliseconds. So there is some delay.

From those 5 things I derived assumption that async probe would be the right thing to start with. We can drop it if it causes a problem in an actual setup :)
