[PATCH 0/2] iio: Add no-triggered buffer helper functions

[PATCH 0/2] iio: Add no-triggered buffer helper functions

[Karol Wrona]

Hello,

This small patchset introduces helpers for iio kfifo which are useful when
IIO_HARDWARE/SOFTWARE_BUFFER is used.  I decided to do it similar to Lars'
industrialio-triggered-buffer as a separate module what can be considered
as overkill but there is some risk that this source file will grow as new
needs will appear.  Also it gives some flexibility with buffer handling choice.

Second patch deselect IIO_TRIGGER for iio kfifo.  I think that there is no need
to use triggers always when iio kfifo is used and IIO_TRIGGERED_BUFFER also
selects IIO_KFIFO_BUF.  I need some comments for this one to be sure if I do not
missed something.  TI's AM335X ADC driver uses kfifo directly but without
triggered buffer/trigger in its sources so I hope there should be no problem
with that.

Thanks,
Karol

These ones helps to create and manage iio_kfifo buffer when
no-triggered buffer is used.

We recently got rid of having to manually call iio_buffer_register() and 
iio_buffer_unregister(). This is now done by the IIO core. See 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git/commit/?h=togreg&id=3e1b6c95b990c93f4aa3b17e9f66221e2fa44bee

I don't think we actually need these non-triggered helper functions anymore. 
It basically just boils down to iio_kfifo_allocate() and 
iio_device_attach_buffer().

Even if they are still worthwhile, I'd just put them in the core code rather
than having the additional module.  Too trivial for it to make sense
in a utility module.

I'm inclined to agree with Lars that the recent changes reduce the argument for
having these to marginal at best.  Bad luck for crossing with those!

No problem with dropping that. I prefer to be done this way too as now cleanup
wrapper has no sense at all.

[PATCH 2/2] iio: Deselect IIO_TRIGGER for IIO_KFIFO_BUF

iio kfifo can be used without trigger support so there is no need to build it.

Looks good, not sure why this was ever selected it in the first place.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git initially pushed out as testing.
That's certainly been there a while. I got bored looking for the source
when we hit the move out of staging :)

oops for a long time ago - though prior to there being any examples
where a kfifo didn't meant there was a trigger as well.
