Hi,

Apologies, I never thanked you for submitting the patch, so let me start this mail by saying thanks!

Yes, you are correct, they are functionally the same.

There is one small difference:

AMS_CTRL_SEQ_BASE equates to 66, since we exclude the control channels I don’t think any overflow will actually occur (as I don’t think there are any ps or pl channels that actually have a scan index so high) but if we look at it in isolation it looks like there could still be potential for overflow.

In the referenced patch PL_SEQ_MAX equates to 60 which just means that even in isolation we can see there can never be an overflow.

Please see my other comment inline.

Thanks &Best Regards,
Conall.

[COG] I don't think there is a need for the above we can just keep  using "indio_dev->channels[i].scan_index"
