To answer the question on generic triggers (agreed, probably not relevant here from what Stefan has said), there are several software triggers under drivers/iio/triggers. Wasn't a lot of point in adding another one to the dummy driver given you can use the hrtimer, or sysfs triggers directly. (loop will result in craziness given the near zero read time of the dummy driver ;) Jonathan > > -Stefan > > > > > Jonathan > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Em sex, 25 de jan de 2019 às 06:20, Alexandru Ardelean > > > > > > <ardeleanalex@xxxxxxxxx> escreveu: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Thu, Jan 24, 2019 at 9:35 PM Rodrigo Ribeiro <rodrigorsdc@gm > > ail.com> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Remove the checkpatch.pl check: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > CHECK: 'RESEVERD' may be misspelled - perhaps 'RESERVED'? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hey, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > A bit curios about this one. > > > > > > > Are you using this chip/driver ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thing is: the part is nearing EOL, and it could be an idea to > > be > > > > > > > marked for removal (since it's still in staging). > > > > > > > But if there are users for this driver, it could be left around > > for a while. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks > > > > > > > Alex > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Ribeiro <rodrigorsdc@xxxxxxxxx> > > > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Rafael Tsuha <rafael.tsuha@xxxxxx> > > > > > > > > --- > > > > > > > > This macro is not used anywhere.
