If part of the exercise here wasn't learning how to get things near perfect, I'd probably have picked this up and fixed it (whilst moaning extensively :) Not this time though: roll on v8. Anyhow, see inline. Always worth checking the patch before emailing for anything that has snuck in and shouldn't be there. I always find git gui particularly useful for seeing this stuff as well. The actual chance is correct and the patch well presented. Jonathan p.s. I'd probably have picked it up anyway, but there is always a slight pause after one sends a pull request as I will want to fast forward my tree if / when Greg pulls. > --- > > v7: > -Change subject > -Remove lock from read_raw instead of from > function adis16060_spi_write_than_read(). > > drivers/staging/iio/gyro/adis16060_core.c | 38 +++++++++---------------------- > 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/staging/iio/gyro/adis16060_core.c b/drivers/staging/iio/gyro/adis16060_core.c > index c9d46e7..193587c 100644 > --- a/drivers/staging/iio/gyro/adis16060_core.c > +++ b/drivers/staging/iio/gyro/adis16060_core.c > @@ -40,25 +40,18 @@ struct adis16060_state { > > static struct iio_dev *adis16060_iio_dev; > > -static int adis16060_spi_write(struct iio_dev *indio_dev, u8 val) > +static int adis16060_spi_write_than_read(struct iio_dev *indio_dev, > + u8 conf, u16 *val) > { > int ret; > struct adis16060_state *st = iio_priv(indio_dev); > > mutex_lock(&st->buf_lock); > - st->buf[2] = val; /* The last 8 bits clocked in are latched */ > + st->buf[2] = conf; /* The last 8 bits clocked in are latched */ > ret = spi_write(st->us_w, st->buf, 3); > - mutex_unlock(&st->buf_lock); > - > - return ret; > -} > - > -static int adis16060_spi_read(struct iio_dev *indio_dev, u16 *val) > -{ > - int ret; > - struct adis16060_state *st = iio_priv(indio_dev); > > - mutex_lock(&st->buf_lock); > + if (ret < 0) > + return ret; > > ret = spi_read(st->us_r, st->buf, 3); > > @@ -69,8 +62,8 @@ static int adis16060_spi_read(struct iio_dev *indio_dev, u16 *val) > */ > if (!ret) > *val = ((st->buf[0] & 0x3) << 12) | > - (st->buf[1] << 4) | > - ((st->buf[2] >> 4) & 0xF); > + (st->buf[1] << 4) | > + ((st->buf[2] >> 4) & 0xF); Why the above change?
