[PATCH v2 10/10] iio: ABI: add settlingtime attributes
From: David Lechner (TI)
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 18:18:20 EST
Add new generic attributes for input settling time introduced in the
ti-ads122c14 driver.
Usually, in IIO the output data rate is 1 / sampling_frequency. There
are known devices (generally ones with filtering and oversampling) where
the first conversion takes longer than 1 / sampling_frequency to allow
the input to settle in order to have a valid conversion result. Then,
any subsequent conversions in a continuous sampling mode would be done
at the regular interval defined by 1 / sampling_frequency.
This attribute is intended to allow controlling that settling time
duration.
A device that has input chopping enabled would see this settling time on
every conversion since the device setting (i.e. the input mux) changes
on every conversion.

+ this time.

+ Depending on the device and how it is used, this settling time
