The continuous mode of the sensor is enabled in the buffer_postenable.
Replaced the original irq handler with a threaded irq handler to perform
i2c reads during continuous mode.
The continuous mode is disabled by disabling the buffer.

Hi Abhash,

You've ended up with an implementation that is somewhere between
a triggered buffer approach (normal one an appropriate here) and that
used when we don't have triggers (typically because there is a fifo in the path).

Please take a look at how other drivers do this.  In particularly if you
are not pushing data to the buffer from the pollfunc (registered for the
triggered buffer) then you are doing it wrong.

Also, consider if other triggers could be used as if not you need to
both document why and add the validation callbacks to stop other triggers
being assigned (once you've added one that can be!)

Feel free to ask if you have more questions, but your first reference
should be other drivers (and I hope we don't have any that do it this way).

Jonathan

ouch, not a write 1 to clear register?  I can't find docs, but this is really
nasty bit of interface design if you have to toggle the bit.

return an error from this, and elect whether to do anything or not
with that at the caller.

See below for more comments, but this is not a triggered buffer
setup. It looks like what we do when draining fifos (where a trigger
concept doesn't apply) but that's not what you have here.  So take
a look at how the split trigger / triggered buffer approach works
in other drivers.

If you are using a trigger (and they are optional) then this interrupt should
only be call iio_trigger_poll_nested() not do the data reading.

This is odd.  You don't seem to have a function to be called to actually store
the data.  Note you also need to consider if other triggers might be used.

Ultimately this doesn't look like a triggered buffer to me.
It is fine for some devices to drive the buffer directly but in that
case register the kfifo buffer. 

I'm not sure what reason we have to do that here though as this is a very
conventional one interrupt per 'scan' of data device.

So you should be registering a trigger, and a buffer then letting the
trigger drive the buffer.

Actually ST has not provided a register map or any application note
for the sensor.
So there's no way to cross reference. Hence I kept the original code.
But I will try to write 1 to clear register with my sensor.

Why do I need to register a trigger? Would it be fine to let the irq
fill the buffer
with data as  it continuously reads it in the poll function?

So according to my understanding,
I need to move all the data reading and pushing to the poll function
and not do it in the irq handler.
Then register that poll function here during iio_triggered_buffer_setup.
Is there something that I am missing?

Abhash

ouch.  Whilst that's an ancient driver, its unfortunately handling the buffer
completely wrongly :(  It's old enough that I suspect there will be no interest
in improving that one.

That is a possibility but it's not nearly as flexible as providing
a trigger so we generally only do that if there is a fifo in the way
so no 'per scan' signal is available.

The model of IIO is that you may associate different triggers
with a device and each trigger can drive capture from multiple devices
allowing reasonable data synchronisation.  There are lots of
devices that don't have a sequencer / 'continuous' mode and we
want the interface to looks the same for those as it does for those
that do have such support.

You have it right.

The only other thing is to work out if it is possible to use other
triggers with the device (I can't see why you wouldn't be able to
use this trigger to drive other device).  

Sometimes using other triggers requires a slightly more complex
sequence so you can check if using a devices own trigger or not
and modify what goes on if it is a different trigger.

If multiple trigger support is complex, it is fine to start out
with providing a trigger validation function iio_info->validate_trigger()
and there is an iio_validate_own_trigger() that you can use to
avoid having to code anything. That relies on the iio_trigger
and the iio_device having the same parent (which they should
do here).
