iio: drop const typing from iio_mount_matrix rotation

Platform-specific ST accelerometer mount matrix information can be provided by returning a package of 6 integers from the ACPI _ONT method. This has been seen on Acer products such as Veriton Z4860G, Z6860G and A890, which include a ST SMO8840 sensor. We have also confirmed experimentally that the Windows driver uses such information.

The _ONT data format was explained by a ST vendor contact. However, strangely enough, the _ONT transformations must be applied after first applying another mount matrix which we determined experimentally. ST have not commented on why this is the case, but we imagine that perhaps earlier devices (before _ONT was introduced) required this translation and hence it became 'standard.'

Interpret the _ONT data and export the equivalent mount matrix to userspace.

If no _ONT data is present, no mount matrix is exported.

A trivial point. Please stick to the local (and most common in kernel) multiline comment syntax of
/*
* asdfsdfs
* more...
*/

Otherwise looks sensible. However, I'd really like Dennis or someone else at ST to take a look before I take this. We are early in the cycle (well it hasn't quite started yet) so plenty of time. Give me a bump in a few weeks if nothing is happening...

Thanks,

Jonathan

I am not familiar with ACPI and I am not sure why axis orientation is not following the standard there.
What I wonder is if this is related to SMO8840, Acer or in general to ST accelerometers integration. Your patch seems to be fine technically but are you able to confirm it will works even outside the 3 parts tested? The other accel supported by ACPI probing SMO8A90 is affected also?

The _ONT data format was explained to us by a vendor support contact at ST. (however, the fact that the _ONT transformation must be applied after first applying another translation was determined experimentally by me).

We have seen this _ONT data present in ACPI tables from multiple product vendors, on SMO8820, SMO8821 and SMO8840 devices, so I believe there is no doubt that it is a ST-specific thing.

The specific transformation behaviour in my patch has only been tested on products with SMO8840 though, since those are the only ones we have on hand.

I suspect we aren't going to come to a firm conclusion on this any time soon. As it only effects devices that do provide _ONT, it is fairly unlikely to cause a regression. Ideally we would know if it worked on the other devices where this is known to exist but such is life.

If people agree that I'm right in patch 1 not being necessary and we don't have any objections to merging this I'll do so, probably next weekend now.

Thanks,

Jonathan

In order to conform with orientation data from the firmware, we need to dynamically construct the mount matrix in the ST accelerometer driver.

Drop the const type from the mount matrix data to make this possible.

Also, I didn't think that much about it until now, but I'm not sure why you need this change in the first place. It is an array of pointers to constant characters. Given we allocate said array before setting this variable to it and don't modify it via this pointer, I believe we are fine with out this.

Compiler certainly isn't complaining about patch 2 without this one. Am I missing something?
