Agreed, explicitly stating "the default label by" makes this much more clear. Though, maybe swap that around into "in favour of providing read_label() in iio_info to override the label"? Otherwise this could be interpreted as "overriding the default label" is preferred to setting extend_name... which one would do to override the default label. I can queue this up for v3 unless you'll fix it up while applying, presuming no other changes have to be made (aside from dropping patch 3/5). Will read_label() turn into a link? And is the @extend_name reference proper? Is there something to link to iio_info, perhaps a hashtag - or maybe fully qualify `#iio_info::read_label()` for linking purposes? /me jumps over to kerneldoc documentation :) - Marijn > > * @datasheet_name: A name used in in-kernel mapping of channels.

And is the @extend_name reference Yes, if read_label is a function that exists (but it's a member)... and @extend_name will indeed reference the member anywhere. > proper?

As mentioned and discussed in [1] extend_name should not be used for full channel labels (and most drivers seem to only use it to express a short type of a channel) as this affects sysfs filenames, while the label name is supposed to be extracted from the *_label sysfs file instead. This appears to have been unclear to some drivers as extend_name is also used when read_label is unset, achieving an initial goal of providing sensible names in *_label sysfs files without noticing that sysfs filenames are (negatively and likely unintentionally) affected as well. Point readers of iio_chan_spec::extend_name to iio_info::read_label by mentioning deprecation and side-effects of this field.
