This is useful for chips that don't have their own interrupt sources.
It allows to use generic/standalone iio triggers for those drivers.

Thanks for the patch. Can you describe in more detail how
INDIO_EVENT_TRIGGERED differs from the INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED. By just
looking at the source code I don't understand quite why it is necessary.
This is needed for the case when iio buffer is not used and used only iio event.

The difference to INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED is that for triggered buffer the trigger poll function is attached (using iio_trigger_attach_poll_func) only in industrialio-buffer.c using number of steps/conditions starting by issuing 1 to buffer/enable sysfs path.

For chips that do not use iio buffer but use only iio events the iio_trigger_attach_poll_func never called.

In case of using INDIO_BUFFER_TRIGGERED the poll func is attached/detached via industrialio-buffer.c In case of using INDIO_EVENT_TRIGGERED the poll func is attached/detached via industrialio-trigger.c during set/change the current trigger.

Regards,
Vladimir


Thanks,
