Hi Christophe,

Thank you for taking a look at this! Much appreciated :)

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).

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.

This driver allows the sensor to be used in two muitually exclusive 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.

I've not looked in details so I'm not sure if related, but bm1390_read_temp() seems to use int.

The bm1390_read_temp() is only used for read_raw, and the u16 gets converted to int because this is what the IIO API uses for read_raw. Even the bm1390_read_temp() gets this into an u16 when data is read from hardware - because the (temperature) data in the hardware is 16 bits.

See potential link with the comment above related to bm1390_data_buf.temp being a __be16 an temp being a int.

Thanks. And yes. I have (most likely) originally thought of reading the data in u8 arrays with the size of the defined data sizes. This idea was probably abandoned when discussing about this approach during v1 review - feedback from Andy and Jonathan was that the temperature data should be directly read to an u16 - and at this point using sizeof() seems more natural. So - this define is indeed useless now. Thanks for pointing it out!

(not sure if it make sense because we still have [0..2] below, so having 3 here looks useful)


Umm... I see what you mean. Not sure which is better - so, unless there is strong opinion(s) I'll just drop the define.

"ret =" missing, or done on purpose?

Done on purpose as the actual data was read successfully and should be correct. The measurement will be left running though - and it would probably warrant at least a warning. Thanks!

Certainly useless, but should we break and return -EINVAL after the switch, so that it is more explicit that bm1390_read_raw() always returns a value?

I think there is also opposite opinions on this. For my eyes the return at the end of the function would also be clearer - but I think I have been asked to drop the useless return when I've been working with other sensors in IIO domain :) My personal preference would definitely be:

int ret;

switch (foo)
{
case BAR:
ret = func1();
if (ret)
break;

ret = func2();
if (ret)
break;

...
break;

case BAZ:
ret = -EINVAL;
break;
}

return ret;

- but I've learned to think this is not the IIO preference.

Missing NULL check?

Actually not. If name is NULL, the dev_name() will be used by the (devm_)request_threaded_irq(). I actually used to have a comment mentioning this but I was told the comment was longer than the NULL check...
...which was true. Still, the comment won't get compiled to code so I liked it more than the check.

Problem I have with the check is that this alloc returning NULL is extremely unlikely. So, it is going to be useless most of (all?) the time. And - if we for some reason did get NULL here - then it would not cause problems as the devm_request_threaded_irq() can handle NULL just fine.

I think Jonathan did also ask for this check to be added, so it is likely I am forced to do so even if I don't like it :) Still, in my books, the NULL check here is useless code.

+    ret = devm_request_threaded_irq(data->dev, irq, bm1390_irq_handler,
+                    &bm1390_irq_thread_handler,
