This sounds like a bug in find_closest() instead of in this driver. If there is an exact match in the list, it seems reasonable to expect that the exact match is returned by find_closest().

I forgot to mention this sooner. But this patch is more of an RFC patch about how to handle this situation with find_closest(). For monotonic values with an increment of 1, find_closest() is a bit buggy. Will try to fix find_closest() >

We have an available attr wich outputs the supported values. To me, -EINVAL is the way to go if some user writes an invalid value. I feel the usage of find_closest() in these case is likely to make the code easier. Maybe an helper analogous to match_string() would be seen with good eyes (like match_value()). But yeah, I guess that changing the behavior now could break some userspace users. - Nuno Sá

There's a small issue with setting oversampling-ratio that seems to have been there since the driver was in staging. Trying to set an oversampling value of '2' will set an oversampling value of '1'. This is because find_closest() does an average + rounding of 1 + 2, and we get '1'. This is the only issue with find_closest(), at least in this setup. The other values (above 2) work reasonably well. Setting 3, rounds to 2, so a quick fix is to round 'val' to 3 (if userspace provides 2).
