Hi Srinivas,

I'm not familiar enough with thermal to know how much sense the support

The way you have done this is a little unusual...
Whilst you register a trigger, it never fires.  You drive
the buffer directly.

To do a true trigger (as an interrupt) from a functional call like that seen
here is a bit of a dance, but can be done if necessary.
I'm not sure I'm keen on the trick pulled here to avoid it.

What you can do is use the validate callback to restrict the trigger you have
here to driving only the buffer in this same driver.
Then you can be sure that useing iio_trigger_poll_chained is fine.
That can be done without the irq_work dance.  Other triggers (don't
provide a validate callback in the other direction) should
then also work fine and you won't need to replicate the read
and push to buffers as currently.  The other triggers will just
see a threaded irq with no 'top half' and work normally.

Why so big?  Far as I can tell you read one 32 bit number into it at most?
Also should also be a u32.  Actually I can't see why you need it
in this structure at all.

Don't bother specifying shift as that's the default (and intuitive unlike

Any interactions between this read and a buffered one if that is enabled?

So this one is for when you are using other triggers...

Really don't like the two different paths depending on who is triggering
the read.

Would it be risky to update the threshold live if the event is enabled?
Normally we try to do this if possible.

What about both state and ev_enable_state being off?

Hmm.  We should probably provide support for embedding iio directly in another
structure at some point... Though handling the private data allocation then
gets complex.

Anyhow, this is fine for now.

Why store the time?  It's never used as the timestamp channel isn't registered.

I'd like a justification of this particular one.  Normal use of
the change type doesn't really apply here (counting steps etc)...
(given one of the reviewers of this driver knows nothing about
thermal (yet :)

Why not read directly into the buffer?  Ah, the parameter is an unsigned
long so no guarantee it will be 32 bits (even if it currently will be).
That's tedious. Ah well!  Speaking of which, temp is signed. Doubt you meant
that.

So is there a real trigger here?  Doesn't look like to to me.
Not sure what the reason for faking one is.  They aren't necessary
where they don't make sense...

Drop through here and have only one exit point and unlock?  Obviously set
ret = 0 to ensure it's assigned.
