Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/4] iio: Move scan mask management to the core

From: Lars-Peter Clausen <[email protected]>

Let the core handle the buffer scan mask management including allocation
and channel selection. Having this handled in a central place rather than
open-coding it all over the place will make it easier to change the
implementation.

Hi Alex,

For some reason I only have patch 1 of this series of 4.

This one looks reasonable to me as abstracts away how it is implemented
which is good. A few comments and a question inline.

I'm not sure passing the indio_dev in here makes sense as it
obscures that all we are getting from it is the masklength.
May be better to pass that explicitly.

This is a bit of an oddity of the old code. Any idea why we
allow things to continue with a masklength of 0? Seems to me
that it is thoroughly broken if that occurs!

Replies inline.

Since the discussion about patches 3 & 4 got a little more complicated [than I'd
like to focus on at this point in time], would it be ok to split patches 1 & 2
into a separate series? [after discussions are resolved]
Even just those 2 patches helps me work on 2 kernel trees [the ADI internal &
the IIO upstream one], as it minimizes the diff.

Passing indio_dev seems to make more sense if we are also doing the channel_mask
thing in the next patches.
If we do the buffer->indio_dev back-ref, then we can just pass the buffer.
But that may obscure things a bit more about the 'masklength'; though, that may
be one of the intentions I suppose [can't be sure]

[1] I suspect when this patch was written, it had this part in mind [with the
retun 0]
So, it preserves behavior a bit.
The 'buffer->scan_mask == NULL' check is a bit odd; I wonder if the initial
intent was to also allow to pass a 'scan_mask' from somewhere else.

So, updating '!indio_dev->masklength' to return -EINVAL in
iio_buffer_alloc_scanmask() sounds like a good idea, but I'll need to add a note
in the commit description.
