[PATCH 1/1] iio:adc: XADC: Set offset explicitly to zero on voltage channels

[PATCH 1/1] iio:adc: XADC: Set offset explicitly to zero on voltage channels

[Gergely Imreh]

The Xilinx XADC driver has both a temperature channel and 8 voltage
channels. The voltage channels have no offset, but actually were still
set the same offset as the temperature channel. This did not cause
problems in /sys/bus/iio/ but can cause problems with other drivers
using iio data. For example iio-hwmon did return wrong voltage values
because of the offset.

Change tested with the Parallella board.

Well spotted on the bug, but I think we are better off fixing this at the
true source of the problem which is in drivers/iio/inkern.c 
iio_convert_raw_to_processed_unlocked which does a call to 
iio_channel_read(chan, &offset, NULL, IIO_CHAN_INFO_OFFSET) then uses
the error return to check if the offset parameter is available. It should
be checking that before making this call with a call to iio_channel_has_info.

I don't suppose you could prepare a patch fixing that as you found the problem?

If not I can fix it up sometime if no one else beats me to it.

Thanks

The issue was already fixed a while ago, see this patch:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=65de7654d39c70c2b942f801cea01590cf7e3458

Starting with that commit iio_channel_read() returns an error when the 
attribute is not available, which causes 
iio_convert_raw_to_processed_unlocked() to skip the offset if it is not 
available.

oops.  Good spot. I'd completely forgotten about that and failed to spot
the check when looking at the code yesterday.

Thanks for the feedback!
