Subject: iio: hi8435: avoid garbage event at first enable
From: Nikita Yushchenko <nikita.yoush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit ee19ac340c5fdfd89c6348be4563453c61ab54a9 ]
Currently, driver generates events for channels if new reading differs
from previous one. This "previous value" is initialized to zero, which
results into event if value is constant-one.
Fix that by initializing "previous value" by reading at event enable
time.
This provides reliable sequence for userspace:
- enable event,
- AFTER THAT read current value,
- AFTER THAT each event will correspond to change.
