First round of new drivers, cleanups and functionality for IIO in the 4.3 cycle.
Core and tools new stuff
* Allow explicit flush of hardware fifo by using an non blocking read.
This is needed to support some of the Android requirements for HW fifo
devices - also makes sense generally and clarifies a corner of the ABI.
* Add some missing modifier names. Mostly these exist for weird and
wonderful event types, but should still be present in the name array.
* Update iio_event_monitor to cope with new channel types.
* generic_buffer gains support for single byte scan elements (no idea
how this never got implemented before!)
New device support
* ROHM rpr0521 light and proximity sensor driver.
* bmc150 gains bmc156 support.
* ms5611 gains ms5607 temperature and pressure sensor support.
Driver functionality
* inv-mpu - add scale_available attributes to aid userspace in
configuring these devices.
* isl29125 - add scale_available attributes.
* stk8ba50 - sampling frequency control, triggered buffer support.
* stk8312 - sampling frequency control, triggered buffer support.
*
cc10001 - ensure ADC powered up at probe time if shared by non linux
running CPUs.
* bmc150-magn - decouple the buffer and trigger allowing other triggers
to be used to drive this device's sampling.
Documentation
* Add some previously missed *scale_available attributes to the ABI docs.
Cleanups
* Clarify some crazy naming in iio_triggered_buffer_setup that seems to
have somehow ended up backwards (dates back a long way). Avoid the top
half and bottom half naming entirely given we are how dealing with a
handler and a thread in all cases.
* Tools cleanup including coding style, variable naming improvements, also
a new sanity check on a full event having been read.
* stk8ba50 - replace the scale table with a struct for clarity. Also suspend
the sensor if an error occurs in init.
* hid-sensor-prox - drop uneeded line break.
* mma9551 - use size in words for word read / write avoiding accidental
sending of an odd number of bytes.
* mma9553 - fix code alignment and document the use of a mutex.
* light/Kconfig - typo fix in commment.
* cm3323 - don't eat an error value, replace an unneeded local variable with
a generic local variable with the same use, add some blank lines for clarity.
* pressure/Kconfig - typo in Measurement Specialties name.
* bmc150-accel - actually use a mask definition rather than repeating the
value inline, code style cleanup.
* adc/Kconfig - general help description cleanup.
* ssp_sensors - drop redundant spi driver bus initialization (done in the
spi core)
* tmp006 - use genmask rather than hand generated masks.
* ms5611 - drop IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE as this driver provides a processed
output and as such the read only scale adds nothing useful.
* kxcjk-1013,
adf4350, dummy - drop unwanted blank lines.
* Drop all owner assignments from i2c_drivers and this is done in the
i2c core.
