RE: [PATCH v9] iio: temperature: Add driver support for Maxim MAX30208

["Khandelwal, Rajat" <rajat.khandelwal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jonathan,
It took time for me to again go back and analyze everything. :)
The page 16 of the datasheet is absolutely correct. If overflow happens, we will have a total of 32 samples to read - not denying that. 
I will try to explain with an example here.
Lets say the read pointer and write pointer are both at 0x04. 
Now I triggered the conversion several times which lead to write pointer increasing to 0x31 and then again rotating back and finishing at 0x04.
Now again I triggered the conversion 2 more times. 
At this time, the overflow counter will read - 2. This time I thought that values at 0x04 and 0x05 are overflowed and write pointer comes at 0x06. 
And thus I was keeping the data count as 2 and popping out 2 values to reach the latest one. 

However, I checked this time triggering the conversion a myriad amount of times. Actually, if write pointer comes back at 0x04 and if I again trigger the conversions, the value at 0x04 only gets overwritten that many times and write pointer stays at 0x04. Thus triggering 2 times will still keep the write pointer at 0x04 and log 2 in overflow counter. 
Thus actually, in order to reach the recent most value, it won't be 0x04  + overflow counter, rather 0x04 itself as 0x04 gets overwritten after FIFO gets full. 

Ok, so now according to me, if I want the recent most reading, I would only have to pop 1 time to read the value at 0x04 with read pointer increasing to 0x05 and overflow counter coming back to 0. 

Have incorporated in v10 for your perusal. Apologies for the incorrect understanding. IIO is relatively new domain to me and how these devices behave and datasheet is laid out gets interpreted by me sometimes in a wrong manner. 

Thanks
Rajat

Hi Rajat,

Alongside some trivial stuff I would have either fixed up when applying or not worried about...

The overflow counter handling still looks wrong to me and doesn't follow the pseudo code on page 16 of the data sheet:
FIFO_DATA read example.

I thought about just applying this with the change I'm suggesting, but probably better if you test it works as expected and spin a v10.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Trivial, but perhaps better as
	@data: struct containing per device instance data.

Device can both mean the linux driver model device and the actual piece of hardware and in this case I don't think it is clear which!
This applies to other instances of the same comment.

I'm fairly sure this still doesn't work.  If an overflow has occurred we need to read the full fifo.  OVF_CNTR contains the number of readings that overflowed, not the number we need to read.  Hence in the overflow condition it may read anything between 1 and 0x1f depending on how much we have overflowed.

What we want data_count to be is the size of the fifo not this number.
>From the datasheet:

Number of samples available in the FIFO after the last read can be obtained by reading the OVF_COUNTER[4:0] and FIFO_DATA_COUNT[5:0] registers using the following pseudo-code:
read the OVF_COUNTER register
read the FIFO_DATA_COUNT register
if OVF_COUNTER == 0 //no overflow occurred
	NUM_AVAILABLE_SAMPLES = FIFO_DATA_COUNT else,
	NUM_AVAILABLE_SAMPLES = 32 // overflow occurred and data has been lost

What you re missing is this = 32 branch.

Code should probably look like...

	ret = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(data->client, MAX30208_FIFO_OVF_CNTR);
	if (ret < 0) {
		goto unlock;
	// Fine to not do an else after the error path as it is inherently different from
	// the next two which are in some way 'equal' in importance.   If you prefer it
	// that's fine too.
	if (ret > 0) {
		data_count = 32;
	} else {
		ret = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(data->client, MAX30208_FIFO_DATA_CNTR);
		if (ret < 0)
			goto unlock;
		data_count = ret;
	}

Trivial but can be simplified to

	return i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(...);
