hmm.. Add IIO_VAL_MEGA_PLUS_INT.. We were always going to need a
bigger
version at somepoint...
Well - we then need an s64, however read|write_raw feature s32 for
val and val2. So shall we pass low word in val and high word in val2?
I was thinking
val*1e6 + val2 would fit with what we have done elsewhere? Is that
enough room?
Hi Jonathan,

IIO_VAL_MEGA_PLUS_INT versus IIO_VAL_LONG_LONG

It is enough room. But I wonder why we would do costly divide and
modulus operations, when we can do sifts and ANDs? Splitting a s64
would
give is the maximum available room with very little overhead.
human readability. I'm anti breaking that if we can possibly avoid it.
That an consistency with the others. There it makes sense because of
breaking round the decimal point.
Hi Jonathan,

Ideally I leave the driver as is.
Leave it for now. Lets revisit this in the future...

If we really want the keep consistency, I would need to make integer
type s64, that will add a lot of unnecessary overhead.
Agreed.  Might need it for other reasons at somepoint, but we put
a fair bit of effort into avoiding this in the first place, so would
be nice not to have to add it now!


Thoughts?
