Hi Jonathan,

I am replying a bit late but I was off for quite some days.

In general the t_fine variable is calculated inside the bmpxxx_compensate_temp().
The t_fine variable is a function of the various varX variables and the adc_temp.
So by reading a new temp value from
the sensor and calculating its compensated value, the new t_fine variable is
calculated. So the combination of reading temp from sensor + compensating the
temp value = updated t_fine as a result of the compensated temperature. I agree that
this has a hidden nature. I can solve it by disintegrating the read()+compensate()
functions as follows:

bmpxxx_read_temp_adc(struct bmp280_data *data, s32 *adc_temp)
{
/* reads adc temperature from the sensor */
}

bmpxxx_calc_t_fine(struct bmp280_calib *calib, s32 *adc_temp)
{
/* calculate t_fine from adc_temp */
}

bmpxxx_get/update_t_fine(struct bmp280_data *data, ...)
{
u32 adc_temp;
s32 t_fine;

bmpxxx_read_temp_adc(adc_temp); //get adc_temp
if (ret)
return ret;

*t_fine = bmpxxx_calc_t_fine(&data->bmp280_calib.bmpxxx_calib, adc_temp);
}

bmpxxx_read_temp(struct bmp280_data *data, s32 *comp_temp)
{
int ret;
s32 t_fine;

ret = bmpxxx_get/update_t_fine(&data, &t_fine);
if (ret)
return ret;

*comp_temp = /* rest of the calculations to compensate temperature */

return 0
}

Another question is, should this be applied to the pressure/humidity readings as
well? Maybe, read_{humidity/press}_adc() functions could be introduced just to
have consistency with the temperature readings. Currently the adc_{humid/press}()
reading is done inside the read_{humid/press}() functions which already
incorporates the compensate_{humid/press}() functions.
