No This is a common situation. All over the place we have cases where changing one abi element effects the value of another. We cope with it to provide a consistent and minimal interface to userspace. Where the sampling frequency is directly controlled it is perfectly acceptable to not automatically adjust the period. We frequently rely on the rule that userspce must check all attrs if it changes any. > >Following are the persistence filter descriptions from data sheets of >tsl2591 and ltr501. > >LTR501: " The INTERRUPT PERSIST register controls the N number of times > >the measurement data is outside the range defined by the upper and >lower >threshold limits before asserting the INT". >TSL2591: " The Interrupt persistence filter sets the number of >consecutive out-of-range ALS cycles necessary to generate an interrupt" > >> >> 2) A new option which doesn't take account of the signal dropping >below the threshold. >> So a count of number of times above the threshold. >> i.e. On each cycle, if over threshold, increment N. >> Evaluate if N is greater than 'persistence' then trigger an >event. >> Why this would ever make sense on a light sensor is beyond me ;) >but there >> we are.
