[PATCH] iio: adc: sc27xx: Change to polling mode to read data

[Baolin Wang]

From: Freeman Liu <freeman.liu@unisoc.com>

On Spreadtrum platform, the headphone will read one ADC channel multiple
times to identify the headphone type, and the headphone identification is
sensitive of the ADC reading time. And we found it will take longer time
to reading ADC data by using interrupt mode comparing with the polling
mode, thus we should change to polling mode to improve the efficiency
of reading data, which can identify the headphone type successfully.

Hi,

My concerns with this sort of approach is that we may be sacrificing power
efficiency for some usecases to support one demanding one.

The maximum sleep time is 1 second (I think) which is probably too long
to poll a register for in general.

Is there some way we can bound that time and perhaps switch between
interrupt and polling modes depending on how long we expect to wait?

Thanks,

Jonathan

This is 10 x the value I think...

1 second is the timeout time, that means something wrong when reading
the data taking 1 second, and we will poll the register status every
500 us.
From the testing, polling mode takes less time than interrupt mode
when reading ADC data multiple times, so polling mode did not
sacrifice power
efficiency.

I do not think the interrupt mode is needed any more, since the ADC
reading is so fast enough usually. Thanks.

Hmm.  I'll go with a probably on that, depends on interrupt response
latency etc so isn't entirely obvious.  Faster response doesn't necessarily
mean lower power.

The reason for interrupts in such devices is usually precisely the opposite.

You do it because things are slow enough that you can go to sleep
for a long time before the interrupt occurs.

So question becomes whether there are circumstances in which we are
running with long timescales and would benefit from using interrupts.

From our testing, the ADC version time is usually about 100us, it will
be faster to get data if we poll every 50us in this case. But if we
change to use interrupt mode, it will take millisecond level time to
get data. That will cause problems for those time sensitive scenarios,
like headphone detection, that's the main reason we can not use
interrupt mode.

For those non-time-sensitive scenarios, yes, I agree with you, the
interrupt mode will get a better power efficiency. But ADC driver can
not know what scenarios asked by consumers, so changing to polling
mode seems the easiest way to solve the problem, and we've applied
this patch in our downstream kernel for a while, we did not see any
other problem.

Thanks for your comments.

OK. It's not ideal but sometimes such is life ;)

So last question - fix or not?  If a fix, can I have a fixes tag
please.

Thanks,

Thanks for your understanding :)

This is a bigger patch, I am afraid it can not be merged into stable
kernel, and original code can work at most scenarios. So I think no
need add stable tag for this patch. Thanks.

Fair enough.  Needed a bit of merge effort as crossed with a generic
cleanup patch it seems.

Anyhow, hopefully I got it right.

Pushed out as testing for the autobuilders to play with it.
