Subject: [PATCH v1 0/3] iio: afe: rescale: Add INFO_PROCESSED support

Hello everyone,

You will find a small series that add the support of processed values
for iio-rescale driver.
Thanks to that, it is possible to read processed values in sysfs instead
of getting only raw and scale values.

Here is an example for a 3v3 voltage reading:
# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device1/in_voltage0_scale
3.791015625
# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device1/in_voltage0_raw
879
# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device1/in_voltage0_input
3332

It is also possible to read directly the processed values using iio-hwmon
driver (see example in patch03):

# cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/in1_input
3328

I seperated my series in 3 patches:
- Patch01: Move the scale conversion into a function to prepare the
support of IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED.
- Patch02: Add the support of IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED.
- Patch03: Add an example of the use of hwmon and voltage-divider nodes
in device-tree.

If you have any feedbacks on it, I will be pleased to read them!

Best regards,
Mylène

Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] iio: afe: rescale: Add support of CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED

Add the support of the CHAN_INFO_PROCESSED to have directly
the processed value (raw * scale). It will be exported as
in_voltage0_input in sysfs.

The last patch about hwmon has nothing to do with this series, and
should be possible as-is without any code changes. No? AFAICT,
iio_hwmon calls iio_read_channel_processed, which calls
iio_convert_raw_to_processed_unlocked in case IIO_CHAN_INFO_PROCESSES
is not handled by the driver. Is that not working?

There is also libiio in userspace that provides the scale as a double
and makes the conversion to a processed value trivial, so the series
is really mostly about the convenience of having a human directly
seeing the processed value in sysfs. Right?

If that is deemed valuable, then I think it should be fixed in a
central location, and not individually for each and every driver.

Anyway, not my call, just stating my opinion, but those are the
reasons for me not adding a processed channel from the very beginning.

Cheers,
Peter

I definitely want to fully understand the reasoning behind this proposal.

My gut feeling is that it doesn't make sense a sit ends up with two
interfaces to the same thing in userspace, which we generally want to
avoid.

It's really trivial to do the maths in userspace and often doing it in
kernel is less accurate, or much more complex.
