[PATCH v8 5/8] iio: dac: ad5686: implement new sync() op for the spi bus
From: Rodrigo Alencar via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 08:16:48 EST
From: Rodrigo Alencar <rodrigo.alencar@xxxxxxxxxx>
Use of local SPI bus data to manage a collection of SPI transfers and
flush them to the SPI platform driver with the sync() operation. This
allows for faster handling of multiple channel DAC writes, avoiding kernel
overhead per spi_sync() call, which will be helpful when enabling
triggered buffer support. For consistency, the read operation leverages
the same transfer data rather than a stack-allocated array.
