Hi Mudit,

I'd failed on previous reviews to notice the odd trigger in here.
What is it, because it doesn't seem to be a dataready trigger as the device
doesn't seem to provide such an interrupt?

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your review on this.

I've incorrect called it as a dataready trigger, I missed this as part
of my initial cleanup - apologies for the confusion caused by this. I
should potentially call it 'threshold' or 'dev'. Please suggest what you
think would be appropriate here.

The sensor has an active low interrupt pin which is connected to a GPIO
(input, pullup). When the sensor reading crosses value set in threshold
high or threshold low resisters, interrupt signal is generated and the
interrupt gets handled in 'bh1745_interrupt_handler()' (interrupt also
depends on number of consecutive judgements set in BH1745_PERSISTENCE
register)

This isn't really a trigger. Just report the event and don't register a trigger at
all.

In theory we could have a trigger with these properties (and we did discuss
many years ago how to do this in a generic fashion) but today it isn't
something any standard userspace will understand how to use.



Various other comments inline.

Will address all for v7

What is happening here.  You always push out the event and use that as
a trigger?  This is an unusual trigger if it's appropriate to use it for
one at all.  You've called it a dataready trigger but it is not obvious
that this device provides any such signal.

When an interrupt occurs, BH1745_INTR_STATUS bit is set in the
BH1745_INTR register. Event is only pushed out when the
BH1745_INTR_STATUS bit is set.
That bit is fine. My confusion is more about the trigger.  I think
the short answer is drop the next line and indeed all the code registering
a trigger as this device doesn't provide appropriate hardware.


Noted - thank you for your guidance.

Will include the changes for v7.
