Subject: [PATCH 0/2] iio: ak8975: Fix calculation formula and add device name
Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:05:00 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52E88BFC.6080704@samsung.com> (raw)

 Three months ago Lars-Peter revised description of device driver[1].
Correctly, device's sensitivity is 0.3 uT/LSB typ and One micro tesla equal 0.01 gauss[2].
So I have fixed calculation formula,And then add RAW_TO_GAUSS macro.
Scale are returned as VAL_INT_PLUS_MICRO.
Additionally, I have add device name.

Tested on exynos4412 board, with following result:

-sh-4.1# cat name
ak8975
-sh-4.1# cat in_magn_x_raw
80
-sh-4.1# cat in_magn_x_scale
0.003609

Calculate the result 80 x 0.003609 = 0.28872 Gauss.
0.28872 G equal 288.72 mG

I think this magnitude value is proper level[3].
