Is this case actually useful given it means the scaling of the adc
isn't known?
I suppose you might have defined the table in terms of raw readings,
but then when someone comes along and 'fixes' the ADC driver to output
it's scale your table will be wrong.
Yes, that may be possible if someone just move the implementation of
processed read to raw read.
I assumed that some of adc driver implemented as raw and some of
implemented as processed and so fallback.
However, if adc driver has processed implementation then it should not
move to raw and deprecate the processed.
It seems raw as default should be better option. We can have two option now:
- Support raw only, not to processed.
- Or support the raw as default and processed as the optional from DT.
if (!processed)
read_raw()
else
read_processed()
Your opinion?
