[PATCH 0/3] iio: add unit converter

[PATCH 0/3] iio: add unit converter

[Peter Rosin]

Hi!

This moves the iio-mux driver to a new category, since I think
it will be the single driver in that category forever, and now
I'm adding a new driver that is somewhat similar in nature...

But that rename is not very interesting, it's just reshuffling.
It's the new driver that I need. Specifically, I need to allow
linear scaling and modification of the type of an io-channel.
I don't know exactly how that is accomplished in the best way,
but this is what I came up with.

The use cases are an ADC hooked up to measure a "big" voltage by
looking at the midpoint of a voltage divider, and an ADC used
to measure the current by looking at the voltage over a resistor.

Comments?

Cheers,
Peter

[PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: iio: wrapper: add io-channel-unit-converter

[Peter Rosin]

Allow linear scaling and modification of the type of an io-channel.

When an ADC channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
of the divider. Likewise, measuring the voltage over a resistor is
often a way to get to the current through it.

This binding allows description of such hardware which is external
to the ADC.

Hmm. I'm not convinced by the naming really though I can see where you care
coming from as it can effectively use a voltage ADC to measure a current.

Lets see if the devicetree people or anyone else has a suggestion on this.

Could go with AFE as that is how a chip doing this would normally be described.
It's just that here we are doing it in old fashioned resistors...

There are a few unusual elements in here binding wise so definitely looking
for input on the bindings!

Thanks,

Jonathan

I can certainly conceive that we will have simple non linear cases in future
though they get awfully hard to describe so we can tackle that when it
happens.

Would this apply to something besides ADCs?

This seems overly complicated for just describing a couple of resistors 
on an ADC. OTOH, keeping the ADC node and what's attached to the ADC 
separate 

Perhaps the type should be part of the compatible. For example, if you 
have a current measurement resistor/circuit, then the compatible should 
be based on that.

parent doesn't seem to describe something about the h/w.

Is a compatible like "current-sense-circuit" too long(ish)? Is a
vendor prefix absolutely required? Sure, I can use "axentia,"
because we "implemented" the circuit this time, but it seems like
the list can grow very long if we should add every vendor that
may use something like this? Something more generic would be good
for something as simple as this IMHO.

I propose the compatible "voltage-divider" for the other example,
but I have the same issue with the vendor prefix. Even more so
in this case.

Then the above type can be inferred from the compatible. I suppose
I should write the above two bindings as two separate files?

Extrapolating from your first question, you are thinking "adc", right?

I like the concept. I can think of use case on my end to set a RADC (digital pot)
to set a threshold voltage. Being able to define the hardware scaling in the dt would be nice.
Which would allow all the hardware definition to be in the dt which would nice.
So this would be voltage -> resistance.

Setting a DAC voltage to set output current is also a distinct possibility.

"voltage-divider" doesn't really say what the purpose is.

One is fine if the only difference is the compatible.

I don't really have any suggestion. With only 1 channel, there's not
really much point to having a name at all.

No, but it says what it *is*, which is pretty much what the compatible
is all about? If you have, I don't know, let's pick some regulator, you
don't expect the compatible to give any details of the purpose. Not
other than regulating of course. But a voltage divider pretty much divides
a voltage, much like a regulator regulates, and that's it. The node name
should be what hints at the purpose, no?

Right, I'm ditching the -names line.

[PATCH 3/3] iio: wrapper: unit-converter: new driver

[Peter Rosin]

If an ADC channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance.
E.g. if the full voltage it too big for the ADC to handle.
Likewise, if an ADC channel measures the voltage across a resistor,
the interesting value is often the current through the resistor.

This driver solves both problems by allowing to linearly scale a channel
and by allowing changes to the type of the channel. Or both.

A few comments inline, but basically the code looks fine, just questions
around naming and bindings to answer.

There's no logic at all, and I don't need it. It's just leftovers,

Nope, better to error out I suppose. But I'm not familiar with channels
without RAW, what alternatives are there anyway?

Potentially _PROCESSED though that will need somewhat different handling.
A nasty trick for that might be to map it to RAW and then have the SCALE
reflect the divider circuit scale only.

It's perfectly possible to have channels with neither _RAW or _PROCESSED
but I suspect we don't care about them here.

There might be an application that needs to do buffered data flows in the
long run, but we can figure out how to do that when one exists.

It won't be a huge amount more than you have here, though we might need
a trigger pass through as well to allow you to set the trigger for
the front end and having it automatically applied to the backend.

Hmm, I think a lot of things might assume RAW to be a pure integer, and
maybe they are even correct to do so? So yes, that seems nasty indeed...

Yes, this is the same for the iio-mux. I don't need it, I in fact need
very little bandwidth for these things. Someone with an itch will have
to fill in the buffer/trigger handling...

Seems unlikely to occur often as ADCs are mostly linear, but you never
know...  We'll figure it out when it happens.

It is pretty much how I would have implemented it as well.

Will probably do a detailed review over the weekend.
Not convinced entirely on the 'wrapper' naming though.
Will think about it...

Yeah, let's put 'Wrapper' in the crapper. Not married to it.

Miscellaneous?

So, not super-happy about that either. And maybe leave the mux
where it is? It's just that I have the feeling that the iio-mux
is never going to get any friends in its category, and the mux
and the unit-converter are kind of related in that they operate
on other channels. But maybe that's only logical it you know how
they are implemented...

Perhaps Analog Front ends?
We could move the amplifier driver into the same directory as well,
though right now that driver is not passing the channels through
(it's often used without there being an IIO ADC behind it I think...)

(passive) linear scaler?
analog linear scaler?
But maybe these supersets are not broad enough.

Or just invent another acronym akin to "PHY" such as
"AIF" (analog interface)?

AFE (analog front end) is commonly used, but I'm not sure if implies
more than we want here.  Lars, Michael this is more your area than
mine - what do you think?

We could call it an amplifier and be done with it but that wouldn't
really encompass the fact we are also changing it's apparent measurement
from voltage to current because we know enough about the circuit to do
so...
