Currently, there are 3 helper macros in iio/events.h to create event identifiers: - IIO_EVENT_CODE : create generic event identifier for differential and non differential channels - IIO_MOD_EVENT_CODE : create event identifier for modified (non differential) channels - IIO_UNMOD_EVENT_CODE : create event identifier for unmodified (non differential) channels For differential channels, drivers are expected to use IIO_EVENT_CODE. However, only one driver in drivers/iio currently uses it correctly, leading to inconsistent event identifiers for differential channels that don’t match the intended attributes (such as max1363.c that supports differential channels, but only uses IIO_UNMOD_EVENT_CODE). To prevent such issues in future drivers, a new helper macro, IIO_DIFF_EVENT_CODE, is introduced to specifically create event identifiers for differential channels. Only one helper is needed for differential channels since they cannot have modifiers. Additionally, the descriptions for IIO_MOD_EVENT_CODE and IIO_UNMOD_EVENT_CODE have been updated to clarify that they are intended for non-differential channels, Signed-off-by: Julien Stephan <jstephan@baylibre.com> Reviewed-by: David Lechner <dlechner@baylibre.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241028-iio-add-macro-for-even-identifier-for-differential-channels-v1-1-b452c90f7ea6@baylibre.com Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
