Hi Linus,
Given it's rare for anyone to implement the validate callback
(and often only happens because I asked someone to add it)
I had a bit of a dig...
So the 'normal' reason for this is complexity around fifos
that mean supporting other triggers requires a bunch of extra
code (basically can't use a fifo without access to it's
watermarks interrupt etc - it could be done but it's
more than a little crazy - what does it meant to use
an hrtimer to read from a fifo running at a different
rate?).
Now this driver has two different struct iio_info structures.
Only one of those has this particular restriction - the
other one just doesn't enable the fifo and will run in data-ready
mode, or using another trigger.
The decision is based on whether the bus supports block reads.
So I'd argue what we actually need for your unwired interrupt
case is to fallback to the same mode we get if we can't
do the fifo anyway.
if (block_supported && irq > 0) {
at line 1734 should work I think...
Who buys a nice device like this and doesn't wire up the interrupt?
Crazy people :)
