Fine to argue they all do if that's the reasoning! To be useful I think we need some more detail on the raw data from the chardev readout and that perhaps belongs in some generic docs (fine to use this driver as an example).

I'd use hexdump -C to list them byte wise - otherwise endian effects make this rather incomprehensible. Also if you want to list the raw data, good to explain what the various parts are and how that is derived from the info in scan_elements. That might be best done in a separate document though that is then referred to from here. I don't think we have such a userspace document, having long relied on people figuring it out from the example tools or using google to find talks various folk have given (or the ADI wiki which might have stuff on this?) > diff --git a/Documentation/iio/index.rst b/Documentation/iio/index.rst > index 1b7292c58cd0..0087c0dafe59 100644 > --- a/Documentation/iio/index.rst > +++ b/Documentation/iio/index.rst > @@ -12,3 +12,5 @@ Industrial I/O > ep93xx_adc > > bno055 > + > + adis16475 Hmm. It's already in a random order but let's not make it worse to fix that up. Put this before the bno055. If you want to add some more formatting to this, say to add some section titles and that would be great as a separate patch. > -- > 2.34.1 >
