+Description:   ADC output voltage in microvolts or 0 if device is
not opened.

Why is it returning 0 when "device is not opened" ? What does that
even mean? You can't read that file without opening it.

It means that something has to open the /dev/input/inputX device which
sets up the ADC before the voltage can be read from the sysfs file.

[...]



As I told you already, if you're going to expose this an ADC in the
end, the proper solution is to use the IIO framework, not adding a
custom sysfs file.

My intention was to expose just a simple debug output, so one can
press the buttons and read the voltages for devicetree keymap.

If anyone can suggest a simpler approach than current sysfs based one,
I would do it.

The android driver always uses 0.2V / 200mV steps, so what I do is
simply create a mapping with 200mV mapped to KEY_VOLUMEUP, 400mV mapped
to KEY_VOLUMEDOWN, etc. following the hardcoded android driver mapping:

https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi/blob/sunxi-3.4/drivers/input/keyboard/sun4i-keyboard.c#L136

Usually this will be correct in one go, after testing one can shuffle
key codes as needed (usually not needed) and/or remove unused entries.

With that said I do think that a sysfs file to see the actual voltages,
or a kernel parameter to printk them on keypress interrupt would be useful.

I guess the printk option would be better as it would show the actual
keypress value read, not some semi-random sample.

Regards,

Hans
