For my Odroid Go Advance I noticed that the adc-joystick driver was
only reporting the y channel and on the x axis. After debugging, I
found that the driver was trying to read values from channels 0 and
1 even though my device is using channels 1 and 2. By changing the code
to use the axis index instead of the scan index when unpacking the data
from the buffer, the joystick begins working as expected.

This sounds like some sort of misconfiguration, as your change
effectively removes the ability of using just some ADC channels for
joystick functionality...

Let's add Jonathan and Arthur for their take on this.

I agree, this sounds like either a case of misconfiguration, or an issue 
in the ADC driver that this device is using.
The axis index corresponds to the iio channel associated with the 
joystick, but NOT to the order at which data is sampled by ADC.
That's why each channel has a `scan_index` field. It sounds like in 
Chris' case the channels have wrong scan indices.
I'd start by verifying that in the ADC driver that is being used.

In any case, this patch is wrong and removes functionality that existing 
devices depend on.

Cheers,
Artur

I appreciate the feedback. If this driver is working as expected then
that means the issue I am experiencing is further up the stack. Based
on troubleshooting by getting the raw data that the rockchip-saradc
driver was putting into the triggered buffer and seeing what the
adc-joystick saw coming out of the triggered buffer I wonder if the
issue is with the rockchip-saradc driver? I noticed that the buffer
pushed by the driver's trigger handler would only (appear to) send the
channels that I was requesting data for. So basically the data buffer
would have the correct values in [0] and [1], but the adc-joystick
driver by using the idx would fetch values from [1] for x (which has
the y axis data) and [2] for y (which would have arbitrary data in
it, usually something around 65406 or so).

Do you think I should start looking at the rockchip-saradc driver then?
Should the saradc be putting stuff in the buffer for every channel with
empty data for channels that aren't to be reported?

Thank you.

Chris,

I analyzed the IIO core code some more and I think you are correct in 
your assessment.
The data buffer that `adc-joystick` receives will be the length of all 
the *active* channels combined.
That would mean scan index specifies the order of the channels by which 
they appear in the buffer, NOT their offsets in it.

That said, we can't rely on channel order from `joy->chans = 
devm_iio_channel_get_all(dev);`,
as channels might have out-of-order scan indices and thus this sequence 
can't be used to iterate the buffer.
I think the best approach would be to add an IIO helper to find a 
channel offset in a buffer.
Say, something like this:

```
--- a/drivers/iio/buffer/industrialio-buffer-cb.c
+++ b/drivers/iio/buffer/industrialio-buffer-cb.c
@@ -151,6 +151,27 @@ struct iio_dev

+       }
+
+       return -EINVAL;
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(iio_find_channel_offset_in_buffer);
+
```

...and then the only change in `adc-joystick` has to be:

```

                 switch (bytes) {
                 case 1:
```

On a side note, this potentially uncovered an issue in an unrelated 
`ingenic-adc` driver,
where data pushed into the buffer is always the size of all the 
available channels, not just active ones.
I was using that driver while writing `adc-joystick`, which explains why 
I never encountered your problem.

With all that said, let's wait for Jonathan to speak out before we 
proceed with v2.

No the ADC driver should be packing the data (actually it may well be
the IIO core doing repacking depending on how clever the ADC in question is).
The joystick driver is too simplistic unfortunately. scan_index is not the index
of the data in the current scan - it is only guaranteed to be monotonic
in the sense that for any given channel it's position will be (packed as
best possible whilst being naturally aligned) after all channels with
lower scan indicies.  scan_index effectively refers to the order of
channels if 'all' channels are enabled.

Hence the driver should work out the ordering from scan_index
but not assume it corresponds to the position of the data
(to make things worse there is no guarantee that the channels have the
same number of bits so that should also be accounted for).

So to take a pathlogical example.  If you have x,y mapping to
scan index 5, 2 then only these two channels will be enabled.
The driver correctly handles the ordering because of the mapping
from channel to access code.  However to find the position
it needs to walk the channels.  It needs to know that 5 is
actually offset by whatever storagebits value the channel with
index 2 has (potentially with additional padding to ensure
we maintainer natural alignment - imagine, e.g. the channel with
scan_index = 2 might be 8 bit and the one with scan_index 5 might
be 16 bit.  In that case you would need to pad so the scan_index
5 channel is 16 bit aligned in the buffer.  If they were the
other way around there would be no padding between the channels.

The ordering of channels from the joystick channel specific bit
of the binding comes from device tree 'reg' value and the ordering
of the IIO map comes from io-channels ordering.  So these should
I think map one to one (without messing around with actual tests
I'm not 100% sure on these two ordering questions).

When the driver then maps all the channels in io-channels they will
in turn have scan_index values (and sizes)  Unfortunately to know
the ordering we'll have to index over them and put them in the
appropriate order.  I'd suggest just storing the resulting
offset in the data buffer during that initial scan so it can
be easily used later.

So some more complexity to handle I'm afraid!

Almost.  You need to take into account the size of each
channel and the alignment rules as well (everything is naturally
aligned) which will unfortunately require searching the channel
list for each channel with a scan_index below this one.

Useful function to hav so I'm in favour of adding something like
this it will just need to also take the iio_dev to get access to the
sizes of other channels.

Note similar code occurs in iio_buffer_update_demux() (though what you need
here is thankfully rather simpler). 

We have iio_storage_bytes_for_si() to make things a bit simpler as it'll
do the reverse lookups for you. 
You'll need to export some of the utility functions.

However, I'd put this in a more generic location as it's potentially useful
for cases other than callback buffers and that should reduce what you need
to export.  Probably put it in industrialio-buffer.c / iio/buffer.h

That would be fine, if it were also setting available_scan_masks as then
the IIO core would repack only the requested channels (which is
what that update_demux mentioned earlier sets up).

However, given the driver is doing readl() only for the channels
that are enabled, it probably makes more sense to pack them correctly.

Forgive me for being new to the iio subsystem, but how can I find out
the alignment? Is it simply a matter of assuming the largest value is
always the size of the alignment (meaning if we have a single channel
enabled with a 2 byte value all channels are 2 bytes in size, even
if the channel itself only reports 1 byte of data?

So if I understand correctly we need a helper function that translates
the scan index (the channel?) into the joystick index, and by doing
so we need to find the offset of each byte in the data buffer.

So basically a helper function that does the following for a given
buffer/channel:

- Gets the channels that are enabled (presume from the buffer
scan_mask).
- Identifies the data size of each channel.
- Sets the offset size to the largest value for the channel size.
- Returns the offset for the given channel in the buffer.

Then, in the adc-joystick driver we can store this offset in the
driver data for each axis so we know exactly where in the buffer
this data is.

Does that sound about right? Or am I way off?

(also, completely unrelated but while I have a captive audience, is
there an easy way to either send a single trigger or set up a trigger
for a given driver? I'd like to add a polling function to this and
I'm trying to find the correct way to do it, but so far I've only
found a userspace way to use an hrtimer set up via sysfs, I'd like
to make it a driver option if I can).

Thank you very much!

No each channel is naturally aligned after the earlier channels.
(Short of oddiities around x86_32) it's the same as alignment in a c structure
containing only the channels that are enabled.

So lets take an example.
Channel 0 - 16 bits.
Channel 1 - 8 bits
Channel 2 - 16 bits
channel 3 - 64 bits (usually timestamp.

If all enabled, then we end up with
0         2         3     4          6     8           16
[channel 0|channel 1|  pad|channel 2 | pad | channel 3 |


If only 0 and 2
0          2           4
|channel 0 | channels 2|

If only 0 and 3
0          2                             8          16
| channel 0|  Lots of padding            | channel 3 |

etc.

No. Translates the scan index to an offset into the buffer. Index is
not sufficient because it depends on what other channels are enabled.

Nope. As above.

More complex than that. Because of the alignment requirements.

You can set a trigger in code using iio_trigger_get() though we have
provision for using hrtimer triggers this way. I vaguely
recall a driver that provides both the trigger and acts as a consumer
it might be the potentiostat/lmp910000
