Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] iio: light: isl29018: support cover-glass gain compensation via DT
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 12:06:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604100617.3486541-4-github.com@herrie.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604100617.3486541-1-github.com@herrie.org>
Boards that mount the ISL29018 behind tinted or coated cover glass
experience optical loss that effectively reduces the sensor's apparent
sensitivity. The existing in_illuminance0_calibscale sysfs attribute
can correct for this at runtime, but firmware knows the loss factor at
design time and there is no way to seed it without a userspace helper.
Add support for an optional "isil,cover-comp-gain" device-tree property
that initialises calibscale at probe time. If the property is present
but cannot be read, probe returns an error via dev_err_probe() so the
root cause is visible in the log. If absent, calibscale defaults to 1
(unity gain, matching the previous behaviour). Userspace can still
override the value at runtime through the sysfs attribute.
The approach follows the precedent set by the TSL2563 driver.
