I'll simplify the description here to something more succinct. > One thing that would be handy for review, might be if you put up a tree > somewhere with this applied and included a link. This is such a large set of changes that having a tree to checkout for review would be convenient. I typically push to my personal tree, so you can check out the changes there in the counter_chrdev_v* branches: https://gitlab.com/vilhelmgray/iio I'll include a link to it again in the cover letter for v8 when it's ready. > Mind you I don't feel that strongly about it if it you do want to maintain > it in the individual patch descriptions. > > I've been a bit lazy and not cropped this down as much as I ideally should > have done (to include only bits I'm commenting on). > > Anyhow, various minor things inline but this fundamentally looks fine to me. > > Jonathan > > > > > > Overview > > ======== > > > > The purpose of this patch is to internalize the sysfs interface code > > among the various counter drivers into a shared module.

Looks like I cut that line short by accident; it should read: "between the sysfs interface and the device drivers".

I don't think we can pull this one out as a precursor unfortunately. Since unsigned long is passed in as pointer, we could get a type mismatch if we're on a 32-bit system. For this to work, it requires the u64 change in struct counter_ops and subsequent dependent code, so we'll have to keep it as part of this patch for now. > > @@ -785,18 +782,21 @@ static int quad8_function_set(struct counter_device > > *counter, > > *quadrature_mode = 1; > > > > switch (function) { > > - case QUAD8_COUNT_FUNCTION_QUADRATURE_X1: > > + case COUNTER_FUNCTION_QUADRATURE_X1_A: > > *scale = 0; > > mode_cfg |= QUAD8_CMR_QUADRATURE_X1; > > break; > > - case QUAD8_COUNT_FUNCTION_QUADRATURE_X2: > > + case COUNTER_FUNCTION_QUADRATURE_X2_A: > > *scale = 1; > > mode_cfg |= QUAD8_CMR_QUADRATURE_X2; > > break; > > - case QUAD8_COUNT_FUNCTION_QUADRATURE_X4: > > + case COUNTER_FUNCTION_QUADRATURE_X4: > > *scale = 2; > > mode_cfg |= QUAD8_CMR_QUADRATURE_X4; > > break; > > + default: > > + mutex_unlock(&priv->lock); > > + return -EINVAL; > > This looks like a sensible precaution / cleanup but could have been > done separately to the rest of the patch I think?
