Hello.
Recently I have posted a driver for drivers/misc/ driving a pair of
devices: Renesas R-Car Gyro-ADC and speed-pulse interfaces [1]. Arnd
Bergmann, one of the maintainers told me that such driver would fit
better into the IIO infrastructure. I have studied this infrastructure
for some time and only found in it a place for the Gyro-ADC interface.
Let me describe the devices to be driven in some detail. Gyro-ADC
i/f is an interface to multichannel serial ADC (of 3 certain models)
which can also calculate and average of each 8 samples and sum up 10 of
these average values. Speed-pulse interface can count PWM-type input
signal pulses and period between them. Though being two separate
devices, these two have to be driven together because of the shared
start/stop register (located in Gyro-ADC i/f still) and the clock with
1.25 ms period supplied from the Gyro-ADC i/f to the speed-pulse i/f;
at the same time speed-pulse i/f generates interrupt with 100 ms period
to be used by both interfaces.
At this time, only speed-pulse interface support is required,
Gyro-ADC can be largely ignored (though it has to be initialized).
Perhaps we could add a new I/O channel type for speed-pulse i/f? What's
your thoughts?
