[PATCH 0/4] iio: missing ABI documentation

[Peter Meerwald]

Hi,

this tried to document some ABI in use for a long time but never
properly documented; I think it is beneficial to say what things
are supposed to be even while certain existing drivers may violate
it

this is meant as an RFC

cheers, p.

Peter Meerwald (4):
  iio: Add intensity including ir and both modifiers to ABI
    documentation ex-post
  iio: Add ABI documentation for illuminance
  iio: Add ABI documentation for proximity
  iio: Fix spelling of illuminance in gp2ap020a00f driver

Oops. I think added intensity in the first place though might have been in the
tsl2563 driver rather than my tsl2561 driver from prehistory of IIO.

Thanks for your work on filling in the gaps!

[PATCH 2/4] iio: Add ABI documentation for illuminance

has been in use for a long time, but never documented;
state that this measurement should be in lux (drivers may feel
different about this)

I agree that it should be in Lux.

Note that I was sure this was documented somewhere so went looking.
It was under drivers/staging/iio/Documentation/sysfs-bus-iio-light

Description agrees with yours so this patch is fine, but we should
drop the version in staging in favour of this.
Note that quite a few elements in that staging file are unlikely to
ever make it out of staging as they currently stand!

Thanks and applied to the togreg branch of iio.git

[PATCH 3/4] iio: Add ABI documentation for proximity

[Peter Meerwald]

has been in use for a long time, but never documented
proximity is unit-less, except otherwise stated, see e.g.
the as3935 driver where it is meter

Again this is documented in the staging docs.  I'd argue that the _input
form should be used if we are in meters, otherwise if scale free (like it
almost always is) then it should be the _raw form.

Still we can always evolve the docs!

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git

Actually had immediate second thoughts on this, I'm going to amend it to
specify that if in _input it should be in meters.
