Anish, much thanks for your work! This is much appreciated.

There are a few comments below, they don't require any design
changes, just some technical issues, which wouldn't hard to fix,
I guess.

And again, thanks for your efforts!

This will fit on one line.

Plus, it look strange that you use 'struct generic_adc_bat' before
actually declaring it. :-) Surely it works because it's a macro.

Also, while this is a simple one-liner, I'd really suggest making
it a function. That way you also won't have a risk to evaluate
'ptr' expression twice, plus the function is type-safe (unlike
the macro).

The enum is in the global namespace. Please prefix items with
GEN_ADC_BAT (or GENERIC_ADC_BAT, but that would be too long).

Personally, I like making acronyms. I.e., while file name already
makes it pretty clear that it is generic_adc_battery, in the file
itself you can use short gab_ and GAB_ everywhere.

Anyways, it's up to you. generic_adc_bat_ prefix is also fine. But
be consistent.

The same with chan_type, please prefix it with something.

Ditto. gab_channel_name.

Plus, you can make it char *gab_channel_name[] = {
[VOLTAGE] = "voltage",
[...] = ...,
};

Thus no need for MAX_NAME.

While it's static, it still looks awkward that you don't prefix it.

That looks unreadable.

How about:

bool ret = gpio_get_value(adc_bat->pdata->gpio_charge_finished);
bool inv = adc_bat->pdata->gpio_inverted;

return ret ^ inv;

(you can also make gpio_inverted bool, as well as return value of
charge_finished function)

static? prefix?

One variable declaration per line, please.

int scaleint;
int scalepart;
etc.

you don't use this return value, why assign?

Also, this is very repeated.

How about introducing a function
int gab_read_chan(enum gab_chan, int *val, int *scaleint, int *scalepart)
{
int ret;

ret = iio_read_channel_raw(chan, val);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;

ret = iio_read_channel_scale(chan, scaleint, scalepart);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;

return 0;
}

Then you'll have

switch (psp) {
case POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_POWER_NOW:
ret = gab_read_chan(adc_bat->channel[POWER],
&iio_val, &scaleint, &scalepart);
break;
case POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_VOLTAGE_NOW:
ret = gab_read_chan(adc_bat->channel[VOLTAGE],
&iio_val, &scaleint, &scalepart);
break;
....
}

if (ret < 0)
return ret;

It is easily noticed that this is quite repeating too.

So we can do better, let's introduce property-to-channel function:

enum gab_chan gab_prop_to_chan(enum power_supply_property psp)
{
switch (psp) {
case POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_POWER_NOW:
return GAB_POWER;
case POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_VOLTAGE_NOW:
return GAB_VOLTAGE;
....
}
WARN_ON(1);
return GAB_POWER;
}

And then we can just do this:

enum gab_chan chan = gab_prop_to_chan(psp);

ret = gab_read_chan(chan, &iio_val, &scaleint, &scalepart);
if (ret < 0)
return 0;

Which is much nicer. :-)

This is u?n(r)e:a<d?a->b=l&e. :-)

Plus, I guess there's some logic error: you check gpio_charge_finished
for gpio_is_valid, and then for it "< 0", which is always false. I
think you don't need "< 0" check.

How about a separate function for this?

I.e.

int gab_get_status(struct generic_adc_bat *gab)
{
struct gab_platform_data *pdata = gab->pdata;
int chg_gpio = pdata->gpio_charge_finished

if (!gpio_is_valid(chg_gpio) || adc_bat->level < 100000)
return adc_bat->status;

return POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_FULL;
}

You repeat 'adc_bat->pdata->battery_info' too much. Please introduce
short a variable. I.e.

struct power_supply_info *bi = &adc_bat->pdata->battery_info;

Then you can type bi->voltage_min_design;

If you use gpio_is_valid, you don't need another >= check.

Something is seriously wrong here. You probably don't need container_of.

Plus you pass pointer-to-pointer to request_irq()... I doubt it will
work.

These four lines will fit into two.

I think you can use ARRAY_SIZE(channel_name) macro from linux/kernel.h
instead of the loop.

Plus, you should really name it num_chans.

The chan_index is calculated from the static array that never changes.
I think you don't need this check.

Instead of sizeof(int), better sizeof(*adc_bat->psy.properties).

Also, you need whitespaces around *.

And I don't see where you're filling-in num_properties. How
does it work without it?

adc_bat->channels = kzalloc(num_chans * sizeof(*adc_bat->channels),
GFP_KERNEL);

Plus, I think you can use devm_kzalloc() here, and above.

Need {} braces for if statement too, so it'll have to be

Very unfortunate line break, at first I thought that you don't
need parenthesis, but then I noticed that it's actually a function
call. Heh. please introduce a local variable int irq; above (just
after if (gpio_is_valid)...

i.e.

int irq = gpio_to_irq(pdata->gpio_charge_finished);

ret = request_any_context_irq(irq, .....).

Here, &adc_bat (pointer-to-pointer) looks very wrong. Why do you do
this?

You don't need >= check. gpio_is_valid is used for this.

Please don't be scared to introduce temporary variables if they make

You define chan_type twice. Keep only one declaration, this one,

Uhm. Making it extern means that you're no longer able to use
this driver as a module. And the module isn't a problem per se,
it just a sign of some bigger problem... Maybe you should rethink
how you pass channel name, dunno.

Inconsistent. Either use generic_adc_battery_ prefix, or
iio_battery_, or anything you like, but please be consistent across
all the driver and files.

Long what? :-) Please specify a variable name.
