Subject: [PATCH] iio: kx022a: Fix acceleration value scaling

The IIO ABI mandates acceleration values from accelerometer to be
emitted in m/s^2. The KX022A was emitting values in micro m/s^2.

Fix driver to report the correct scale values.

Signed-off-by: Matti Vaittinen <[email protected]>
Reported-by: Jagath Jog J <[email protected]>
Fixes: 7c1d1677b322 ("iio: accel: Support Kionix/ROHM KX022A accelerometer")

---
The fix is somewhat crude and just crops the last 3 digits (rounds) of the
scale while using IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO. I played with a thought of using
IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL, which could have modelled the computation
G_range * g * scaling / (2^16 * scaling) - where scaling 10000 would
have allowed using g value 980665.

This would have worked fine for reporting scale and available scales -
but would be somewhat tricky when converting the user-supplied scale to
register values in write_raw().

Well, the g varies from 9.832 (poles) to 9.780 (equator) according to
some website - no proper source check done but this sounds about right -
so maybe the loss of accuracy is acceptable.

I did only very quick testing on KX022A and iio_generic_buffer. After
the patch the values seemed to be correct order of magnitude. Further
testing is appreciated :)

Thanks a ton for testing! May I ask which component did you use (or did
you just use some 'simulated' regster values?)

Hi Matti,

I just simulated with the register values, Should the 'tested-by' tag only be
provided after hardware testing? I referred to this driver because it's
the most recent accelerometer driver that was merged.

MEMS accelerometers tend to be pretty inaccurate. So I'd not worry too much about
this loss of accuracy at all.
The 0 point according to the datasheet I just looked at is +- 25mg and
if I read the sensitivity numbers right part to part variation in scale
is well above 5%. For 2G mode, it lists acceptable 1G values of
min=15401, typical=16384, max=17367

So if anyone actually wants to do precision measurement they need to calibrate
their particular device + deal with the variation due to temperature etc
which makes this even more fun.

Applied to my local fixes-togreg branch of iio.git, but I've just sent a pull request
so this may not go out until after the 6.7 merge window.

I am not sure TBH. I didn't have a problem with your tag though, I was
merely curious to hear about the IC usage :)

Now that you mentioned the tested-by tag usage, I started to wonder it
as well. From pure SW/driver point of view the register value simulation
is sufficient - but in practice we are not interested in whether the
code works "in theory" - but whether the products do really work. This
is something which includes handling of potential HW quircks and
oddities - which are not always documented or known.

If we assume a case where someone is developing new gizmo and hits a bug
which is in reality caused by some undocumented HW hiccup - then fixes
with "tested-by" tags which are not actually tested on HW having this
hiccup but using SW simulation - may be misleading.

The above is just some overall pondering - I am not too concerned on
your tested-by tag :) Besides, it's cool you did the testing! I
appreciate that! However, I wonder if there is some wider consensus
whether the tests should be ran using real HW when tested-by tag is
given. Jonathan, do you have any educated opinion on this?

Makes sense :) Thanks for replying!

It's fine to add a note. People typically do this if they've tested on
a particular device from a set. So if you want to (entirely optional)

Tested-by .... #Tested by simulate register values

I wouldn't describe that as a particularly educated opinion though :)
Not something I care that much about.
