Assume "yes" to all suggestions not mentioned below.

I'll send out a v3 later.

Why this can't be the part of drivers/iio/adc/ti-ads124s08.c?
Seems to me the command list is the same, registers are different though.
Broadly the Q is have you checked other existing drivers if they can
be used as a base. If not, perhaps a word in the cover letter is good to have
(sorry if I asked this already).

...

The ads124s08 command list is the same, but that's about all that's similar.

+ struct spi_transfer rdata_xfer;
+ struct spi_message rdata_msg;
Do you use this outside of the ->probe()? I just ask since I removed some
context already...

Yes, probe() initializes the structs, they're used in the interrupt routines.



+ spinlock_t irq_busy_lock; /* Handshake between SPI and DRDY irqs */
+ int rdata_xfer_busy;
+
+ /* Temporary storage for demuxing data after SPI transfer */
+ u32 bounce_buffer[ADS1298_MAX_CHANNELS];
+
+ /* For synchronous SPI exchanges (read/write registers) */
+ u8 cmd_buffer[ADS1298_SPI_CMD_BUFFER_SIZE] __aligned(IIO_DMA_MINALIGN);
+
+ /* Buffer used for incoming SPI data */
+ u8 rx_buffer[ADS1298_SPI_RDATA_BUFFER_SIZE];
Cacheline aligned?
I see the cmd_buffer, but shouldn't this be also aligned?

I understood from Jonathan that that wasn't needed... "My" SPI controller is rather dumb and doesn't even have DMA.

Will take a closer look though.

+ else
+ rate = ADS1298_CLK_RATE_HZ;
Dead code (here and elsewhere). You probably wanted _optional clk APIs
in the probe.

Yes "optional" was intended.

...

+static int ads1298_reg_write(void *context, unsigned int reg, unsigned int val)
+{
+ struct ads1298_private *priv = context;
+ struct spi_transfer reg_write_xfer = {
+ .tx_buf = priv->cmd_buffer,
+ .rx_buf = priv->cmd_buffer,
+ .len = 3,
+ .speed_hz = ADS1298_SPI_BUS_SPEED_SLOW,
+ .delay = {
+ .value = 2,
+ .unit = SPI_DELAY_UNIT_USECS,
+ },
+ };
+
+ priv->cmd_buffer[0] = ADS1298_CMD_WREG | reg;
+ priv->cmd_buffer[1] = 0x0;
+ priv->cmd_buffer[2] = val;
Sounds to me like put_unaligned_be16().

Added comment to explain the first zero is the "number of registers to read/write minus one".

...

+ unsigned long flags;
+
+ /* Notify we're no longer waiting for the SPI transfer to complete */
+ spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->irq_busy_lock, flags);
+ priv->rdata_xfer_busy = 0;
+ spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->irq_busy_lock, flags);
Use cleanup.h?

...

Will dive into it, is new to me... Looks like C++ "scoped_xxx" at a first glance.



+static int ads1298_update_scan_mode(struct iio_dev *indio_dev,
+ const unsigned long *scan_mask)
+{
+ struct ads1298_private *priv = iio_priv(indio_dev);
+ unsigned int val;
+ int ret;
+ int i;
+
+ /* Make the interrupt routines start with a clean slate */
+ ads1298_rdata_unmark_busy(priv);
+
+ /* Power down channels that aren't in use */
This comment does not describe why you need to write to _all_ channels.

Yeah, need to configure them all. Most common is that the cached value is already okay and no actual write register will happen.


+ for (i = 0; i < ADS1298_MAX_CHANNELS; i++) {
+ val = test_bit(i, scan_mask) ? 0 : ADS1298_MASK_CH_PD;
With above in mind, this perhaps needs to be one of for_each_set_bit(scan_mask) /
for_each_clear_bit(scan_mask).

Probably more efficient to access the device registers in a natural order.

...

+ .cache_type = REGCACHE_RBTREE,
Why not MAPPLE TREE?

Reading the description this driver isn't a good candidate - the map isn't sparse and the hardware can do bulk read/write (though the driver doesn't use it).
