RE: [PATCH] iio: st_sensors: Fix the sleep time for sampling

[Denis CIOCCA <denis.ciocca@st.com>]

Hi Jian,

Not clear to me why should be + instead of *.

ODR is expressed in Hz, so (1/Hz) = period in seconds (1 sample sampling time) [s]
1000 * (1/Hz) = period in milliseconds (1 sample sampling time) [ms]
n * 1000 * (1/Hz) = n times period in milliseconds (n times sample sampling time) [ms]

In your case you assume bootime is in milliseconds. Maybe we can change the comment and use 'number of samples ...'.

Br,
Denis

Subject: [PATCH] iio: st_sensors: Fix the sleep time for sampling

According to the description of st_sensor_settings and st_sensor_data structures' comments:
- bootime: samples to discard when sensor passing from power-down to power-up.
- odr: Output data rate of the sensor [Hz].

The sleep time should be
sdata->sensor_settings->bootime + 1000 / sdata->odr ms.
