Clearly this is not true, given the driver patches in the series.

Additionally, this is a binding so talk about hardware not drivers.

Hi Carlos,

Firstly welcome to IIO!

A few comments inline. Some overlap with Andy's review.

We now have __counted_by_ptr so you can use that marking
to make it explicit that num_channels is telling us how
many elements channels has.

See below. Maybe more appropriate to copy the read_delay rather
than keeping pointer to full structure around.

Andy covered this. fsleep() provides standard tolerance on
usleeps if we don't care about precise timing (and given it's a sleep
we never get precise timing anyway!)

Given only the read_delay_us is used after probe, I'd add a variable for
that and copy just that value over.  If you have other changes that
are coming in the near future that will add more fields to the structure
that are needed after probe, then fine to leave it as you have it
(but add a mention in the commit message).

Given we try to present the actual device name in sysfs, I'd expect to see the
name coming from the chip_info structure as well.

One follow up comment is format the resulting description as a list
as it reduces churn in the long run.  e.g. how AD7173 does it.

Will revert addition of const struct ltc2309_chip_info *chip_info since it is
indeed, wasteful to carry the pointer to the full structure when only the
read delay is used after probe.

Will convert to variable to copy this value over instead. Thanks.

As, I have no visibility into the other similar devices that may require more
fields to the structure, let me revert the structure changes and use a local

Will do, thank you.

I was informed about the 'and similar' context in the Kconfig to scale
the driver smoothly but I mistakenly applied it to the help text as well
instead of the title only. Will revise accordingly. BTW, keeping the 'and
similar' context in the title since there were 9 instances of it in Kconfig.
Thank you.

Not a local variable, I meant replace the chip info with the read_delay_us
instead.

struct ltc2309 {
    struct device		*dev;
    struct i2c_client	*client;
    struct mutex		lock; /* serialize data access */
    int			vref_mv;
    unsigned int		read_delay_us;
};

OK, works for me!

the coding and may not even know about programming.

Sorry, I meant, I will remove this unneeded setting since it is redundant.
(global struct members are zero-initialized already)
