[PATCH v1 0/2] iio: adc: ti-ads1119: Add driver

[PATCH v1 0/2] iio: adc: ti-ads1119: Add driver

[Francesco Dolcini]

From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

The ADS1119 is a precision, 16-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
that features two differential or four single-ended inputs through a
flexible input multiplexer (MUX), rail-to-rail input
buffers, a programmable gain stage, a voltage reference, and an
oscillator.

Apart from normal single conversion, the driver also supports
continuous conversion mode using a triggered buffer. However, in this
mode only one channel can be scanned at a time, and it only uses the data
ready interrupt as a trigger. This is because the device channels are
multiplexed, and using its own data ready interrupt as a trigger guarantees
the signal sampling frequency.

Take a look at diff-channels.

Ditto here, why's this a property of the hardware? Usually this gets set
from sysfs..

Yes, we looked at this and at the beginning we did not think this was a
right idea. This is pretty much copying what is done in
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/ti,ads1015.yaml.

We could describe this using the diff-channels, however the MUX in the
ADS1119 cannot do any combination, but only a subset (AIN0-AIN1,
AIN2-AIN3 and AIN1-AIN2).

Are you aware of a way to validate this in the DT?
Would something like that work?

adc@40 {
    compatible = "ti,ads1119";
    reg = <0x40>;
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <0>;
    #io-channel-cells = <1>;
    
    channel@0 {
        reg = <0>;
        diff-channels = <3 4>;
	label = "AIN0_AIN1"
    };
    
    channel@1 {
        reg = <1>;
        diff-channels = <5 6>;
	label = "AIN2_AIN3"
    };
    
    channel@2 {
        reg = <2>;
        diff-channels = <4 5>;
	label = "AIN1_AIN2"
    };
    
    channel@3 {
        reg = <3>;
	label = "AIN0"
    };
    
    channel@4 {
        reg = <4>;
	label = "AIN1"
    };
    
    channel@5 {
        reg = <5>;
	label = "AIN2"
    };
    
    channel@6 {
        reg = <6>;
	label = "AIN3"
    };
};

This is a hardware gain from the ADC and it is dimensionless.

The sample rate is a hardware property, you can configure the ADC device
to do the acquisition at a specific rate.

Both these properties are inspired from
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/ti,ads1015.yaml.

We could do what you are suggesting here. I am just a concerned on how
this interacts with the iio/afe/ bindings. Specifically, how could I
configure the gain or the data rate when this ADC is used by a
voltage-divider? Maybe iio-rescale driver needs to be extended for such
use case?

I'm not sure of a neat way to restrict the options like that, no.

This looks fine to me, but a look from Jonathan would be good.

Maybe I phrased my question incorrectly. I'll try again:
What makes the gain a fixed property of the hardware?

I guess I was expecting to see a gain in decibels, but w/e.
What do 1 and 4 represent here?

Same thing here, poorly phrased question from me I think. Why is this is
a fixed property of the hardware, rather than something that a user may
want to control? Last time I saw one of these kind of properties,
Jonathan commented:

For configuring the gain in that scenario, you probably need Jonathan or
Peter to comment on, I'm not sure how the sysfs controls work for that.
I'm not sure what a voltage divider would have to do with the data rate,
so I guess this is something related to how the sysfs files are
structured? Again, it'll probably be Jonathan or one of the guys that
actually deals with the userspace side of things (I haven't beyond a
trivial application) that'll have to answer that.

That's a very old binding :(  We are stuck with a bunch of legacy unfortunately.

That's fairly common. So far it's been restricted by documentation
rather than the binding enforcing it.

Hmm. It's not super tidy but I think it can be done.

Firstly 3-6 are single-channel anyway. There are some ways of ensuring
we have only single-channel or differential-channels in a given channel node.
I took a quick look and the one binding I have that does both today doesn't
actually restrict that :( 
This one that we have under review does though: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240531-ad4111-v4-1-64607301c057@analog.com/
(in that case the mux is fully flexible so it doesn't have this next bit)


    diff-channels:
      oneOf:
        - items:
            const: 0
            const: 1
        - items
            const: 2
            const: 3
        - items
            const: 1
            const: 2

Use the new single-channel so that 'reg' isn't a weird
magic value. In combined cases with single ended and differential
channels, it's better to just use reg as an index rather than assign
it any real meaning.

Agreed - this is normally userspace controlled not dt.

So this is a question of providing services.  The ADC is servicing the
measurement of the analog front end.  So the analog front end can control
the features of how it is serviced byt the ADC.  Those are just pass
through controls to the underlying device (with some corner cases
where the AFE is part of the parameter dealt with)

If the AFE driver doesn't yet support this, then fine to extend it.
Mostly they pass through standard ABI but so far read only.
For simple cases like this should be fine to add the write path.
Gain control will be a little fiddly as you'll need to remove the AFE component
to work out what to write to the ADC + figure out how to provide
_available info so that userspace can understand that it can control this.

If you care about the voltage-divider and buffered capture there will
be more to do as that path isn't wired up yet I think.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade
