[RFC PATCH v2] iio: core: Add optional symbolic label to a device channel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If a label is defined in the device tree for this channel add that
to the channel specific attributes. This is useful for userspace to
be able to identify an individual channel.

 Changes in v2:
	- Move label check before "read_raw" callback.
	- Move the responsability to of parsing channel labels, to the
	  driver.
