Re: New IIO/counter driver

[Patrick Havelange]

Hello,

I'm in the process of adding a new IIO/counter driver, however I also
saw that there was a work in progress to have a separate counter
subsystem ( https://marc.info/?l=linux-iio&m=153974167727206 ). But it
seems there is no recent progress on it.
What is the state of those patches ? Is it still interesting to
develop the driver as an IIO/counter , or should I use already that
new subsystem ?

Best Regards,

Patrick Havelange.

Hello,

I am still open to merging this patchset and maintaining the Counter
subsystem. However, I took the lack of response for my latest
submission to indicate a loss of interest in this patchset's approach.
If there are still people who want this, I can rebase and resend this
patchset for submission; the past few versions have primarily been code
clarity and documentation changes so I believe the core design itself is
somewhat stable now.

Just let me know how best to proceed and I shall be happy to oblige --
whether to continue maintaining this patchset or to drop this design in
favor of improving the existing IIO Counter code in the kernel.

I'll CC those from the patchset submission to keep them in the loop.

Sincerely,

William Breathitt Gray

I confirm that I still interested to get those patches merged.

In a more abstract fashion (I don't have any hardware of this type!)
I'm still keen for the counter subsystem to go in.  Hopefully, if
Greg or anyone else wants to take a detailed look they will have time
this cycle to do so.

I was pretty happy with the last version I read through.  There will
always be things to improved, but as long a we are happy with
the userspace inteface, the little things can happen later.
