Hi Jonathan, Alexandru,
I agree with you about the predisable but I am not convinced regarding the postenable.
Few modifications have been made on magn driver and never replicated on accel. I think should be done in the same way magn is implemented.
During postenable kmalloc should be called first because iio_triggered_buffer_postenable function it enables irq and if an interrupt arrives before the memory is allocated (wrong interrupt or failure of switching sensor off from previous disable) it could generate a null pointer exception. Make sense to you?
Thanks & Br,
Denis

I think this is fine, but I'd like an ack from Lorenzo / Denis.
Note to those who have missed the background on this, the aim is to both tidy up drivers, but long term to allow for simpler reworking of the core by ensuring consistency of ordering and what is done in each of these hooks.
Thanks,
Jonathan
