Add the chip_info structure to the driver's private data to hold all
the device specific infos.
Refactor the kx022a driver implementation to make it more generic and
extensible.

v3:
- added the change of the buffer's allocation in the __kx022a_fifo_flush
     to this patch
- added the chip_info to the struct kx022a_data

v2:
- mentioned the introduction of the i2c_device_id table in the commit
- get i2c_/spi_get_device_id only when device get match fails
- removed the generic KX_define
- removed the kx022a_device_type enum
- added comments for the chip_info struct elements
- fixed errors pointed out by the kernel test robot

Do you think we could get rid of allocating and freeing the buffer for each
flush? I feel it is a bit wasteful, and with high sampling frequencies this
function can be called quite often. Do you think there would be a way to
either use stack (always reserve big enough buffer no matter which chip we
have - or is the buffer too big to be safely taken from the stack?), or a
buffer stored in private data and allocated at probe or buffer enable?

I tried using the same allocation as before but a device like the KX127
has a fifo_length of 342 (compared to 86 for kx132, and 43 for kx022a).
Allocating this much using the stack will result in a Warning.


Right. Maybe you could then have the buffer in private-data and allocate it
in buffer pre-enable? Do you think that would work?

Do you mean add a new function kx022a_buffer_preenable to iio_buffer_setup_ops ?

Sorry. I thought the kx022a already implemented the pre-enable callback but it was the postenable. I was mistaken.

Would adding the allocation to kx022a_fifo_enable and the free to
kx022a_fifo_disable be a good option also ?
Yes. I think that should work!

Yours,
