Re: [PATCH v1 2/2] iio: light: Add support for APDS9306 Light Sensor

From: Matti Vaittinen
Date: Fri Oct 27 2023 - 06:49:16 EST


Hi Subhajit,

It's nice to see the GTS helpers are used (and hopefully helpful). I didn't have the time to go through everything with full focus - so please just tell me if some of my questions are silly :) The comments I marked as 'nit' aren't really important - feel free to use your judgement on them :)

On 10/26/23 17:35, Subhajit Ghosh wrote:
Driver support for Avago (Broadcom) APDS9306 Ambient Light Sensor with als
and clear channels with i2c interface. Hardware interrupt configuration is
optional. It is a low power device with 20 bit resolution and has
configurable adaptive interrupt mode and interrupt persistence mode.
The device also features inbuilt hardware gain, multiple integration time
selection options and sampling frequency selection options.

v0 -> v1
- Fixed errors as per previous review
- Longer commit messages and descriptions
- Updated scale calculations as per iio gts scheme to export proper scale
values and tables to userspace
- Removed processed attribute for the same channel for which raw is
provided, instead, exporting proper scale and scale table to userspace so
that userspace can do "(raw + offset) * scale" and derive Lux values
- Fixed IIO attribute range syntax
- Keeping the regmap lock enabled as the driver uses unlocked regfield
accesses from interrupt handler
- Several levels of cleanups by placing guard mutexes in proper places and
returning immediately in case of an error
- Using iio_device_claim_direct_mode() during raw reads so that
configurations could not be changed during an adc conversion period
- In case of a powerdown error, returning immediately
- Removing the definition of direction of the hardware interrupt and
leaving it on to device tree
- Adding the powerdown callback after doing device initialization
- Removed the regcache_cache_only() implementation

I love this comment. Still, even with this I managed to get confused :) It might be beneficial to mention that the minimum gain is 1x from both the integration time and gain. (Not mandatory, I was just trying to figure out why this was so difficult for me to follow).

I'm not sure caching the time and gain idx in the driver data is that beneficial? I assume you use regmap cache amyways. For me caching these add a bit of complexity when trying to ensure they are not used 'uninitialized' for not that obvious benefit.

To my eye this comment looks a bit misplaced without the

- which is a no-op here. I think what you wrote in the comment is true (default assumption) for many drivers - maybe the comment is not needed?
