Subject: [PATCH v4 5/7] iio: adc: ina2xx: Use a monotonic clock for delay calculation
Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2018 02:24:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3dfac802-d735-421b-9676-085e6def4cad@rwthex-w2-a.rwth-ad.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171229174806.5a615b63@archlinux>

The iio timestamp clock is user selectable and may be non-monotonic. Also,
only part of the acquisition time is measured, thus the delay was longer
than intended.

Use a monotonic timestamp to track the time for the next poll iteration.
The timestamp is advanced by the sampling interval each iteration. In case
the conversion overrruns the register readout (i.e. fast sampling combined
with a slow bus), one or multiple samples will be dropped.

Changes in v4:
- Typo, div_s64, not s64_div

Changes in v3:
- use s64_div for 64 bit integer division to fix compiles on 32 bit archs

Changes in v2:
- add a comment mentioning skipping samples on overrun
