3e1b6c95b9 iio: Move buffer registration to the core
Originally device and buffer registration were kept as separate operations
in IIO to allow to register two distinct sets of channels for buffered and
non-buffered operations. This has since already been further restricted and
the channel set registered for the buffer needs to be a subset of the
channel set registered for the device. Additionally the possibility to not
have a raw (or processed) attribute for a channel which was registered for
the device was added a while ago. This means it is possible to not register
any device level attributes for a channel even if it is registered for the
device. Also if a channel's scan_index is set to -1 and the channel is
registered for the buffer it is ignored.

So in summary it means it is possible to register the same channel array for
both the device and the buffer yet still end up with distinctive sets of
channels for both of them. This makes the argument for having to have to
manually register the channels for both the device and the buffer invalid.
Considering that the vast majority of all drivers want to register the same
set of channels for both the buffer and the device it makes sense to move
the buffer registration into the core to avoid some boiler-plate code in the
device driver setup path.

a88bfe7858 iio: core: Introduce STEPS channel, ENABLE mask and INSTANCE event
These changes are needed to support the functionality of a pedometer.
A pedometer has two basic functionalities: step counter and step detector.

The step counter needs to be enabled and then it will count the steps
in its hardware register. Whenever the application needs to check
the step count, it will read the step counter register. To support the
step counter a new channel type STEPS is added. Since the pedometer needs
to be enabled first so that the hardware can count and store the steps,
we need a specific ENABLE channel info mask.

The step detector will generate an interrupt each time a step is detected.
To support this functionality we add a new event type INSTANCE.

For more information on the Android requirements for step counter and step
detector see:
http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#counter
and http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html#detector.

A device that has the pedometer functionality this interface needs to
support is Freescale's MMA9553L:

55aebeb926 iio: core: Introduce IIO_ACTIVITY channel
This channel will be used for exposing information about
activity composite sensors. Activities supported so far:
	* running
	* jogging
	* walking
	* still

THRESHOLD event is used to signal a change in the activity
state.

We associate a confidence interval for each activity expressed
as a percentage from 0 to 100.
  * 0, means the sensor IS NOT reporting that activity.
  * 100, means the sensor IS reporting that activity.

Users of this interface have two possible means to gather
information about the ongoing activities.

1. Event based, via event file descriptor
  * sensor may report an event when ENTERING an activity or LEAVING
    an activity based on a threshold value.
  * drivers will wake up applications waiting data on the event fd

2. Polling, by reading the sysfs associated attribute files:
  * /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_activity_running_input
expressed as percentage confidence value from 0 to 100.

This will offer an interface for Android significant motion
composite sensor defined here:
http://source.android.com/devices/sensors/composite_sensors.html

Activities listed above are supported by Freescale's MMA9553 sensor:

This callback is introduced to overcome some limitations of existing
read_raw callback. The functionality of both existing read_raw and
read_raw_multi is similar, both are used to request values from the

The new read_raw_multi allows returning multiple values. Instead of
passing just address of val and val2, it passes length and pointer
to values. Depending on the type and length of passed buffer, iio
client drivers can return multiple values.

The incorrect limit for the for_each_set_bit loop was noticed whilst fixing
this other case.  Note that as we only have 3 possible entries a the moment
and the value was set to 4, the bug would not have any effect currently.
It will bite fairly soon though, so best fix it now.

7bbcf7e136 iio: Avoid unnecessary kasprintf
name_format already contains the final name and no format characters. So the
code basically reads:

	dev_attr->attr.name = kstrdup(GFP_KERNEL, name_format);
	if (dev_attr->attr.name == NULL)
		...
	kfree(name_format);

Which means we can save one alloc and free pair per attribute name if we
directly assign name_format to dev_attr->attr.name.

The patch also renames name_format to name to denote that this is indeed the
final name and has no format characters in it.

9e69c935fa iio: Add reference counting for buffers
Since the buffer is accessed by userspace we can not just free the buffers
memory once we are done with it in kernel space. There might still be open file
descriptors and userspace still might be accessing the buffer. This patch adds
support for reference counting to the IIO buffers. When a buffer is created and
initialized its initial reference count is set to 1. Instead of freeing the
memory of the buffer the buffer's _free() function will drop that reference
again. But only after the last reference to the buffer has been dropped the
buffer the buffer's memory will be freed. The IIO device will take a reference
to its primary buffer. The patch adds a small helper function for this called
iio_device_attach_buffer() which will get a reference to the buffer and assign
the buffer to the IIO device. This function must be used instead of assigning
the buffer to the device by hand. The reference is only dropped once the IIO
device is freed and we can be sure that there are no more open file handles. A
reference to a buffer will also be taken whenever the buffer is active to avoid
the buffer being freed while data is still being send to it.

0d5b7dae89 iio: Prevent race between IIO chardev opening and IIO device free
Set the IIO device as the parent for the character device

We need to make sure that the IIO device is not freed while the character device
exists, otherwise the freeing of the IIO device might race against the file open
callback. Do this by setting the character device's parent to the IIO device,
this will cause the character device to grab a reference to the IIO device and
only release it once the character device itself has been removed.

Also move the registration of the character device before the registration of
the IIO device to avoid the (rather theoretical case) that the IIO device is
already freed again before we can add the character device and grab a reference
to the IIO device.

We also need to move the call to cdev_del() from iio_dev_release() to
iio_device_unregister() (where it should have been in the first place anyway) to
avoid a reference cycle. As iio_dev_release() is only called once all reference
are dropped, but the character device holds a reference to the IIO device.

899d90bdf4 iio: Add INT_TIME (integration time) channel info attribute
Integration time is in seconds; it controls the measurement
time and influences the gain of a sensor.

There are two typical ways that scaling is implemented in a device:
1) input amplifier,
2) reference to the ADC is changed.
These both result in the accuracy of the ADC varying (by applying its
sampling over a more relevant range).

Integration time is a way of dealing with noise inherent in the analog
sensor itself.  In the case of a light sensor, a mixture of photon noise
and device specific noise.  Photon noise is dealt with by either improving
the efficiency of the sensor, (more photons actually captured) which is not
easily varied dynamically, or by integrating the measurement over a longer
time period.  Note that this can also be thought of as an averaging of a
number of individual samples and is infact sometimes implemented this way.
Altering integration time implies that the duration of a measurement changes,
a fact the device's user may be interested in.

Hence it makes sense to distinguish between integration time and simple
scale. In some devices both types of control are present and whilst they
will have similar effects on the amplitude of the reading, their effect
on the noise of the measurements will differ considerably.

Used by adjd_s311, tsl4531, tcs3472
The following drivers have similar controls (and could be adapted):
* tsl2563 (integration time is controlled via CALIBSCALE among other things)
* tsl2583 (has integration_time device_attr, but driver doesn't use channels yet)
* tsl2x7x (has integration_time attr)

8f1b7eb114 iio: Do not accept multiple '.' in fixed point numbers
Currently when parsing a fix-point number we silently skip any additional '.'
found in the string.  E.g. '1.2.3.4' gets parsed as '1.234'. This patch
disallows this and returns an error if more than one '.' is encountered.

103d9fb907 iio: Add a logarithmic fractional value type
For ADCs or DACs the denominator for fractional types often is a power of two.
In this case we can use a shift operation instead of the rather expensive 64 bit
division. This patch adds a new fractional type which expects the denominator to
be specified as the log2 of the actual denominator. E.g. for ADCs and DACs this
will usually be the number of significant bits.

7985e7c100 iio: Introduce a new fractional value type
Currently IIO uses a decimal fixed point representations for real type numbers.
This patch introduces a new representation for rational type numbers. The number
will be expressed by specifying a numerator and denominator. For converting a
raw value to a processed value multiply it by the numerator and divide it by the
denominator.

The reasoning for introducing this new type is that for a lot of devices the
scale can be represented easily by a fractional number, but it is not possible
to represent it as fixed point number without rounding.  E.g. for a simple DAC
the scale is often the reference voltage divided by the number of possible
values (Usually 2**n_bits - 1). Each driver currently implements the conversion
of this fraction to a fixed point number on its own.

Also when it comes to the in-kernel interface this allows to directly use the
fractional factors to convert a raw value to a processed value. This should on
one hand require less instructions and on the other hand increase the
precision.
