Hi Mike,

Various small things inline - some of which probably overlap with Andy's
comments.


Working on it - Assume "yes to all" as my response on all suggestions, except for the IRQ handling...


The larger one is I don't follow why this does manual protection against
concurrent handling of the result of an IRQ. Much easier to just use
an IRQ threaded handler and IRQF_ONESHOT to mask the irq entirely until
after the initial handling is done. If that doesn't work for some reason
then more comments needed to explain why!

Yeah, definitely needs comments, and a bit of code too...

This chip doesn't have a buffer, but it does "latch" the sample data when it receives a RDATA command (hence I use that in favor of RDATAC, which does not latch and might return corrupted data).

To keep the latency as low as possible, I want to immediately start the SPI transfer when the DRDY interrupt arrives. My experiments have shown a big difference there, when using a ONESHOT trigger, it failed to meet the deadline at even the lowest frequencies.

The next SPI transfer can start immediately after the data has been copied into the intermediate buffer for IIO, the handler need not wait for IIO to process the data.

When the DRDY interrupt arrives, and there's an SPI transfer still in progress, it's not too late yet, the "latch" may save us still. Once the SPI transfer completes and the data is in the intermediate buffer, we should immediately start a new SPI transaction to latch and fetch the next set. (This code is still missing in the current version)

Only when DRDY arrives a second time during an SPI transaction we missed the deadline and sample data was lost.

No further comments below from me, just kept the history for reference.

Not sufficient on alignment - see discussion on patch series for IIO_DMA_MINALIGN
and use that instead. Boils down to there being a few systems with cacheline lengths
are different across caches (that's common) AND this value is the smallest one whereas
coherency is out past a cache with a bigger cache line length.

Can you not use the IRQF_ONESHOT and an IRQ thread to deal with what
you are using wasbusy for here? I'm not keen on a reply saying we've
handled the interrupt when we really haven't finished with it.

This looks like a classic data ready trigger as well. Why handle
it without the trigger infrastructure?

In order to support fall back DT compatibles etc, we generally only
print a message on a missmatched ID. It might be for a new fully
compatible device with a DT binding deliberately specifying that
the older device is fine for matching against.
This is something we are slowly fixing up in older drives after
some long discussions with the DT maintainers a few years back.

I'd group the getting of this regulator with it's enabling. That will bring it
inline with how you handle vref.

That's intentional - name is the type of chip, not a unique name.
If you need a way to identify the device then use the path of the parent
which will associate this with the underlying bus device and hence provide
a stable reference. We deliberately don't attempt to provide a different way
to identify the device. readlink is your friend in userspace.
Some drivers got through review with naming coming from elsewhere but this
is the part number of the device. With hindsight the ABI should have reflected
that to avoid confusion but we are stuck with 'name'.
