However this is more for the sw triggered buffer support which hwmon
lacks... there is a few examples of this already in the tree.
Maybe Jonathan and Peter will have some input on this.
Thanks for highlighting this Alison. Not the first time we have had
simultaneous driver postings under review for both IIO and
HWMON unfortunately.
The hwmon guys are fairly flexible iff there is a good reason to want
stuff
that is in IIO. The original hwmon humidity driver was actually my
fault
as it slipped in when hwmon was effectively not maintained (Andrew
Morton was
babysitting). People on their side have always been a bit split on
humidity
drivers and whether they are within their scope.
Anyhow, best bet is to email their list (perhaps reply to the driver
thread)
to make sure everyone knows this is going on (cc linux-iio as well).
Then we can work out how to move forward.
Two drivers, one in each place is a non starter for new parts. We have
ended up with a few instances, but it's mostly been a case of a driver
with much wider scope ending up covering parts that were already in
hwmon.
Also a very small number of devices have moved across from hwmon to IIO.
In this particular case the sensor is reasonably fast so there is at
least some argument for IIO support. Note I tend to stay out of these
and let the driver author work on convincing Guenter / Jean
(they are very reasonable and responsive!) Only thing I'll say is that
I'm more than happy to have this in IIO if the hwmon guys don't mind.

Now that I'm hwmon-aware ;) I see this same driver under review in
hwmon.
Can support exist in 2 places?
