[PATCH 2/3] input: rotary-encoder: Introduce new 'steps-per-period' property

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This commit deprecates the 'half-period' property and introduces
a new property 'steps-per-period'. This property specifies the
number of steps (stable states) produced by the rotary encoder
for each GPIO period.

Such a property is required to accurately describe all kinds of
rotary-encoders devices.
