[PATCH v4 0/4] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: code cleanups and modernization

[Md. Mahmudul Hasan Mabud]

This series addresses feedback from Andy Shevchenko to modernize and clean
up the ad7816 driver.

Changes in v4:
- Added a blank line after the AD7816_FULL and AD7816_PD definitions to
  improve code readability, as requested by Andy Shevchenko.

Changes in v3:
- Added missing Signed-off-by tags and detailed patch descriptions to
  all commits as requested by the automated patch-bot.
- No functional changes since v2.

Changes in v2:
- Renamed sysfs callback functions (e.g., ad7816_show_mode to mode_show)
  to satisfy the requirements of modern IIO attribute macros.
- Fixed usage of sysfs_match_string() by removing the unnecessary 
  ARRAY_SIZE parameter.
- Fixed vertical alignment of function parameters to match open parenthesis.
- Replaced sprintf() with sysfs_emit() across all show attributes.

[PATCH v4 1/4] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: redefine mode constants to start from 0

[Md. Mahmudul Hasan Mabud]

Redefine AD7816_FULL and AD7816_PD constants to start from 0 instead
of 1. This change is necessary to use these constants as direct
indices for the mode string array and to align with standard
indexing in modern sysfs helpers.

[PATCH v4 2/4] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: use sysfs_match_string() for mode selection

[Md. Mahmudul Hasan Mabud]

Replace manual strcmp() logic with sysfs_match_string() to simplify
the mode selection process. This reduces boilerplate code and
leverages standard kernel helper functions for string matching.

[PATCH v4 3/4] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit()

[Md. Mahmudul Hasan Mabud]

Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in all show attributes.
sysfs_emit() is the preferred way to return values in sysfs
callbacks as it is safer and handles page boundary checks
automatically.

[PATCH v4 4/4] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: use modern IIO attribute macros

[Md. Mahmudul Hasan Mabud]

Modernize the driver by using IIO_DEVICE_ATTR_RW and
IIO_DEVICE_ATTR_RO macros. This involves renaming the callback
functions to standard <name>_show and <name>_store formats, making
the code cleaner and more maintainable.

Missed a comment. This needs to be converted to a for-loop with use of

Hi.

This shows one of the perhaps less well documented bits of kernel process.
Hold off before sending a new version for a while!  Dan commented on this
in v3 but after you'd already sent v4.

General rule is wait at least a week between versions unless it's very minor
stuff after the patch set is very stable or you get an explicit request to
repost sooner (I'll do that occasionally at the end of a kernel cycle).

Anyhow, see discussion on v3.

Jonathan

Another example of why you should go slow in sending new versions!
Andy's email came in after you sent this version I think.
