Hi Cristian,
So I fully understand why this can be useful, but it is a software only
construction so I'm not convinced that it makes sense to necessarily
configure it via device tree. A better fit may well be configfs.
(note I always meant to add configfs controls for iio_hwmon but haven't
found the time to do it yet...)
As it currently stands, doing only polled / sysfs reads this driver doesn't
do enough to justify its existence. You could just do all this in userspace
using the existing gpio interfaces. So to be useful I'd expect it to
at least do triggered buffer capture.
When we have talked about handling digital signals int he past we discussed
whether the IIO channel description would also benefit from tighter packing
than the current minimum of a byte per channel. Perhaps we don't technically
'need' it here but if we do add it in future it will be hard to retrofit into
this driver without big userspace ABI changes (i.e. breaking all existing
users).
I've not repeated stuff Andy got it in his review (assuming
I remembered it was something Andy raised).
Conclusion:
1) Creation interface needs a rethink or strong argument why it belongs in DT.
2) Driver needs to do more to justify it's existence.

Needs a lot more detail here. Though naming it to be explicitly about
GPIO to IIO binding would help.

Improve description here as well. It's really just a wrapper for
a gpio in an IIO channel, so just say that. Fine to say the
representation is 1 bit ADC or DAC channels as well, but
I think the GPIO part will be more obvious to the casual reader.

Not used after probe so don't keep it around.

-EINVAL; It's an error that should be reported to userspace..

? Not used.

I've no idea how this works... Should be looking for the chan->channel
value as that's what your read uses to index.

Make sure to eyeball your patches before sending as this sort
of thing should be caught at that stage...
