Hello,

thank you for the code review.

let me see if we are on the same frequency.

you told me to use match_string/sysfs_match_string.
using any of those assume having the strings in an array, which means I have to
 clutter the code with 242 extra lines in order to split up hsc_range_config:

enum hsc_variants {
    HSC001BA = 0,
    HSC1_6BA = 1,
    [ .. 115 lines skipped ]
    HSC150PG = 117,
}

static const char * const hsc_triplet_variants[] = {
	[HSC001BA] = "001BA",
	[HSC1_6BA] = "1.6BA",
	[ .. 115 lines skipped ]
	[HSC150PG] = "150PG",
};

and change my structure to

static const struct hsc_range_config hsc_range_config[] = {
	[HSC001BA] = { .pmin = 0, .pmax = 100000 },
	[ .. 117 lines skipped ]
};

just to have the privilege of using match_string() on hsc_triplet_variants.
now, which is worse for maintenance? a handful of lines of code that do a
loop of strncmp or the clutter depicted above?

I can go either way, but I want to make sure you see where this leads.

ok.
since we are here, can you please tell me how is mutex.h used outside of hsc030pa.c where it was included previously?

cheers,
