I think this is incorrect and prone to error in the future in case this array
will be extended. What I would expect is to return something like "unknown".

One more thing to discuss (Jonathan, what's your opinion?) I think the
following easier to understand and has less problematic characters in the names
(in case of sysfs direct use from shelll):

static const char * const chan7_vol[] = {
	"gnd", // alternatively GND
	"0.25vdd", // alternatively 0.25_vdd, 0.25Vdd, 0.25_Vdd
	"0.5vdd",
	"0.75vdd",
	"vdd", // Vdd
	"ch7_input",
};

That said, my personal preference:

static const char * const chan7_vol[] = {
	"GND",
	"0.25Vdd",
	"0.5Vdd",
	"0.75Vdd",
	"Vdd",
	"ch7_input",
};

One more thing to discuss (Jonathan, what's your opinion?) I think the
following easier to understand and has less problematic characters in the names
(in case of sysfs direct use from shelll):

static const char * const chan7_vol[] = {
	"gnd", // alternatively GND
	"0.25vdd", // alternatively 0.25_vdd, 0.25Vdd, 0.25_Vdd
	"0.5vdd",
	"0.75vdd",
	"vdd", // Vdd
	"ch7_input",
};

That said, my personal preference:

static const char * const chan7_vol[] = {
	"GND",
	"0.25Vdd",
	"0.5Vdd",
	"0.75Vdd",
	"Vdd",
	"ch7_input",
};

you may utilize my "smart" script [1] or ideas from it for sending patches to
the Linux kernel related mailing lists. It will automatically provide Cc and

For v3 the command line can be (assuming your patch is on the top of the

	ge2maintainer.sh -c 1 -v3 HEAD~0 --annotate

this will call for editor, so you would be able to add Changelog after cutter

I suspect no one would use these particulary inputs directly from the shell,
but agreed that avoiding / where not absolutely necessary is a good idea.

I agree this part is unclean. Actually the register's last 3 (out of 8) 
possible values
are stand for the same mux input "ch7_input". So theoretically we can 
read from register
a value out of array bounds. There should be a comment at least.

About the question of naming mux inputs from the other letter (vdd/2 vs 
0.5Vdd etc).
While I fully agree with you that point is better than slash but mixing 
letter cases... should we?

e.g. this is how iio_info output looks like now:
...
             voltage7:  (input)
             3 channel-specific attributes found:
                 attr  0: mean_raw value: 0
                 attr  1: raw value: 1
                 attr  2: scale value: 0.439453125
         4 device-specific attributes found:
                 attr  0: chan7_mux value: gnd
                 attr  1: chan7_mux_available value: gnd vdd/4 vdd/2 
vdd*3/4 vdd ch7_input
                 attr  2: current_timestamp_clock value: realtime

                 attr  3: waiting_for_supplier value: 0

You can add there in the array to extend it up to 8 entries, so it will be
clear. And for the rest you will return unknown / unsupported / etc.

See the alternative I proposed is to have _ delimiter. But that might make
parsing a bit harder in user space.

A few key things here.
1) ABI docs missing (Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-iio-*

2) We are very conservative when it comes to adopting new ABI as the

   Designing interfaces that work for a wide range of devices is hard
   but necessary to enable general purpose software.

Based on the limited description we have here, I'm not understanding why
you don't just express this as a set of channels. One channel per mux
setting, with the in_voltageX_label providing the information on what the
channel is connected to.

This is an interesting facility, so good to enable for high precision calibration
but we still want to map it to standards signals.  Userspace doesn't
care that these are all being measured via the same input 7 - which
is itself probably an input to a MUX.

Hello Jonathan

Thanks for the review.

Your idea of exposing the mux setting as iio channels is very
interesting and at least worth trying.
The sysfs approach was chosen because of the code changes are simple and
neat (compare to channels approach).
Also calibration by using those mux inputs are already supported in the
driver (performed at probe stage) so I expect very special usecases for
those mux settings like debug or device production stage tests. In those
usescases hardware specific knowledge is required anyway.

Another downside to the debugfs approach is user support:
If someone reports odd values on ADC channel 7 then we need to make
sure to double check if the mux has been altered from userspace (the
calibration during initialization ensures to leave channel 7 in a
consistent state, while a user may change the mux, forget about it and
then complain that values are wrong).


Best regards,
Martin

Another downside to the debugfs approach is user support:
If someone reports odd values on ADC channel 7 then we need to make
sure to double check if the mux has been altered from userspace (the
calibration during initialization ensures to leave channel 7 in a
consistent state, while a user may change the mux, forget about it and
then complain that values are wrong).

Agreed that using channels for this is more complex code wise, but the
avoidance of custom ABI is usually worthwhile.  However I get your point
that this is weird debug / corner case paths anyway.
However...

This problem raises red flags for me.  If the channel wasn't otherwise
useful then treating it as a weird debug thing is fine, but if a normal
read can end up returning weird answers because of leftover configuration
that is custom ABI, so standard code isn't even aware of it, that's bad.

Hence I would not want to see any path under which that can happen.
A read of in_voltage7_raw should continue to return the normal value
whatever this patch adds.
