RE: [PATCH,] IIO: Add additional modifier names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am going to submit a series of patches for HID sensors, mostly targeted towards slates and tablets. For Accelerometer/Gyro/Magnetometer, I am using
IIO_MOD_X_AND_Y_AND_Z for sending  x, y and z sample in one report. So user space like Android can get all three values together . 

I can change to more explicit names as you suggested. Let me know if you want me to submit patch for this.

Thanks,
Srinivas

When we originally introducted the concept of these, the intent was to have rather more explicit naming. Hence [IIO_MOD_X_AND_Y_AND_Z] = "x&y&z", [IIO_MOD_X_OR_Y_OR_Z] = "x|y|z",

It costs a small amount of effort in escape characters, but gives a much more meaningful naming to the resulting attributes.

They aren't there in the core code because nothing using chan_spec based registration was using these (they were needed for modifiers of rather obscure events).  What have you actually needed them for?
