Subject: IIO: necessity of manual reset attribute in drivers?
Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:24:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F943EC2.7030707@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi All,
I vaguely recall asking this in response to certain drivers over the
years, but what is the usecase for userspace 'resetting' a device via
a reset attribute? It's reasonably common in the drivers but not
(as I've kept it out) in the abi docs.
It is common in some of Analog's inertial sensor drivers but I think
turns up in various other places.
Jonathan
