First round of new driver, new functionality and cleanups for IIO in the 4.4 cycle
New device support
* APDS9960 ALS + proximity driver
* bmg160 SPI devices.
* HDC100x humidity sensors
* Holt HI-8435 threshold detector
* mma8453Q accelerometer added to the mma8452 driver
* mma86452FC and mma8653FC accelerometers added to the mma8452 driver
* mxc4005 accelerometer
* PulsedLight LIDAR
* SensorTech VZ89x volatile organic compound sensor
* UPISEMI uS5182d ALS and proximity sensors
New core functionality
* triggered events - use triggers to check for changes in threshold type
detectors on devices with out interrupt support. First user is the holt
comparator.
* chemical concentration and resistance channel types.
New driver functionality
* vf610
- buffer support.
- followup coccinelle warning fix.
Core rework
* buffers
- break out callback buffer to own module.
- move buffer implementations to a new subdirectory
* percolate the error code form iio_event_getfd out to userspace
rather than giving a missleading error later on.
Cleanups
* adddac drivers
- use BIT macro where appropriate.
* meter drivers
- use BIT macro where appropriate.
* ad7303
- add an OF match table to line up with the binding docs.
* adc128s052
- add an OF match table to line up with the binding docs.
*
adf4350
- add an OF match table to line up with the binding docs
* as3935
- add an OF match table to line up with the binding docs.
* berlin2-adc
- use GENMASK and BIT for masks
- prevent attempting to sample multiple channels at once by moving a
mutex scop
- coding style cleanups
* bmg150_magn
- kconfig sort order was wrong - fix it.
* bmg160
- use i2c regmap and drop all uses of i2c_client
- separate i2c and core driver
* cc10001_adc
- kconfig sort order was wrong - fix it.
* evgen (dummy driver helper module)
- move interrupt generation to irq_work to reduce differences between
the dummy driver and real hardware drivers.
* hmc5843
- set the name dynamically rather than to a fixed value for one of the
suported parts.
- export module alias information to allow autoprobing of module.
* lpc32xx
- on failure to get resource or irq return -ENXIO as uppose to -EBUSY
* max1027
- set .of_match_table to actually allow OF style matching.
* max5821
- add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for OF table.
* mma8452
- refactor to separate out chip specific data.
- add freefall / motion interrupt source for devices that do their
interrupts slightly differently.
- update copywrite notice.
- leave naming of events directory in sysfs to the core
* mcp320x
- set .of_match_table so that it can be use for OF style matching.
* mlx90614
- Implement filter configuration (note the datasheet changed as a result
of the driver reviews to include the values we needed ;)
* opt3001
- drop .owner field as assigned by platform driver core.
* si7020
- replace a bitmask on the humidity values with a more correct range
check.
* stk310
- improved error handling.
- use BIT macro where appropriate and use the resulting defines
instead of magic numbers in the code.
- fix indentation
* st-sensors
- add debugfs register read hook
* tsl4531
- fix error handling in check_id
* twl6030
- fix module autoload for OF
* iio-trig-sysfs
- document add and remove attribute
* trigger in staging
- code alignment fixes.
- braces on both branches of if statement if needed for one.
* xilinx-xadc
- push interrupts into hardirq context as there isn't much in them
any more and it avoids breaking PREEMPT_RT builds due to the use
of a spinlock between the hardirq and the thread.
Tools
* event-monitor
- report unsupported events. We keep expanding what can come from drivers
so give a helpful error if one turns up in an out of date userspace
program.
* generic-buffer
- helpful message about needing to enable a channel to start the buffer.
