Hmm, I think I get what you're trying to do.... FWIW, I think you're just going
into a lot of trouble here for scenario 3 (I assume external trigger is something
else other the device own one). IMO, I would just assume that if we are using
an external trigger we have to wait (sleep) for the end of conversion (i.e, I would
not care about the IRQ in this case). It would make things much more simpler and
I guess it should be expected that if some user is deliberately not using the
device own trigger, will have to wait more for scans.
I cannot also see a reason why someone would want to use some
external trigger if the device one is available... Does it really make sense?
