Re: [PATCH v7 1/1] iio/scmi: Adding support for IIO SCMI Based Sensors

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

 



Hi Peter,

As already discussed with ARM, the spec clearly mentions that it has
to be uppercase and not case insensitive. So this patch is consistent
with the specs and changing it with means that the spec would need to
change as well. Therefore, there is no need for another version of the
patch

"A NULL terminated UTF-8 format string with the sensor axis name, of
up to 16 bytes. It is recommended that the name ends with ‘_’ followed
by the axis of the sensor in uppercase.
For example, the name for the x-axis of a triaxial accelerometer could
be “acc_X” or “_X"

Thanks,
Jyoti
