From: Alexandru Tachici <alexandru.tachici@analog.com>

Some sigma-delta chips support sampling of multiple
channels in continuous mode.

When the operating with more than one channel enabled,
the channel sequencer cycles through the enabled channels
in sequential order, from first channel to the last one.
If a channel is disabled, it is skipped by the sequencer.

If more than one channel is used in continuous mode,
instruct the device to append the status to the SPI transfer
(1 extra byte) every time we receive a sample.
All sigma-delta chips possessing a sampling sequencer have
this ability. Inside the status register there will be
the number of the converted channel. In this way, even
if the CPU won't keep up with the sampling rate, it won't
send to userspace wrong channel samples.

Hi Alexandru,

A few comments inline. Approach looks good.

krealloc() preferred.   It might not be necessary to actually do an allocation after all
if we happen to have one we can already use.

I think this needs space for an aligned timestamp give you pass it directly
to iio_push_to_buffer_with_timestamp();

I haven't checked, but I wonder if the fact you are no longer directly using rx_buf
would allow you to relax the alignment constraint on that. (see below though as I
think you should consider keeping the original path to avoid a copy for the simple
devices).

From style point of view preferred to keep to the goto style previously used.
Also, unlock then kfree() buffer + given you pass samples_buf to kfree() on next
run of this function you need to set it to NULL to avoid a double free.

Given lots of drivers don't support scan mode, perhaps you want to keep a fast path that
avoids the extra copies used here? i.e. keep old code in place if active_slots == 1

I think this requires all existing drivers to have num_slots == 1 to do the same as
iio_validate_scan_mask_onehot. I'm not seeing that change in this patch, or any setting
of the default to 1.

Looking at below, shouldn't it be krealloc_array()?
