Hi all,

After some discussions and investigation, the timestamp is very
important for that sync driver.
Google team uses that timestamp to compare with gyroscope timestamp.

So the important data is timestamp and counter value is useless.
Just the event of counter increment is important to get a timestamp.

In that case, my idea was to just use an IIO driver with a single
channel with IIO_TIMESTAMP. We discuss this here and it seems
controversial.

So my question to Jonathan is if we have a timestamp coming from the EC
itself, can we consider this timestamp as a good IIO driver?

Any other idea is welcome, however Google team would like to manage
only IIO drivers if possible.

Thanks
