v4 cover iio: stx104: Add IIO support for the ADC channels

Changes in v4:
- Replace "DAC" with "IIO" in the MAINTAINERS file entry for the STX104 since this driver now supports the ADC functionality rather than simply the DAC
Changes in v3:
- Squash move patch as unneeded thanks to "git format-patch -M"
- Fix multiline comment syntax for value conversion math explanation
- Select between two const iio_chan_spec structures in order to support differential input channels configuration correctly for multiple devices
Changes in v2:
- IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW mask used for analog input channels
- STX104_ prefix added to IN_CHAN_OFFSET define
- STX104_MAX_NUM_CHAN define removed as unnecessary
- Whitespace added to pad comment about ADC sample capture and completion wait
- Switch statement in write_raw callback refactored to return 0
- Comma added to last element initialization of stx104_info
- Comment added to warn why stx104_channels is not const
- Comment added to explain GPIO offset in gpio_get_direction callback
- ARRAY_SIZE macro utilized to get number of channels in stx104_channels
- Replace devm_iio_device_register with iio_device_register call and respective iio_device_unregister call
- Perform GPIO chip registration before iio_device_register to prevent race condition

The first patch of version 2 of this patchset ("iio: stx104: Unregister IIO device on remove callback") has been removed from this patchset since it was picked up in the iio.git fixes-togreg-post-rc1 branch.

The move patch of version 2 of this patchset has been squashed with the ADC support implementation code since the "git format-patch -M" command has been used to clarify the rename of the stx104.c file from the dac directory to the adc directory.

PATCH v4 1/1 iio: stx104: Add IIO support for the ADC channels

The Apex Embedded Systems STX104 features 16 channels of single-ended (8 channels of true differential) 16-bit analog input. Differential input configuration may be selected via a physical jumper on the device. Similarly, input polarity (unipolar/bipolar) is configured via a physical jumper on the device.

Input gain selection is available to the user via software, thus allowing eight possible input ranges: +-10V, +-5V, +-2.5V, +-1.25V, 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 2.5V, and 0 to 1.25V. Four input gain configurations are supported: x1, x2, x4, and x8.

This ADC resolution is 16-bits (1/65536 of full scale). Analog input samples are taken on software trigger; neither FIFO sampling nor interrupt triggering is supported by this driver.

The Apex Embedded Systems STX104 is primarily an analog-to-digital converter device. The STX104 IIO driver was initially placed in the DAC directory because only the DAC portion of the STX104 was supported at the time. Now that ADC support has been added to the STX104 IIO driver, the driver should be moved to the more appropriate ADC directory.

Hi William,

I'd missed the odd use of an output channel to control scale. I'm guessing this is because we are looking at actual control of a front end separate amplifier on the board? However as far as the driver is confirmed this is no different from any multi range ADC and so should be done with IIO_INFO_SCALE.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Holiday season I'm afraid.

Jonathan

I'm confused. You have a separate output channel to control gain? Why... Variable gain devices are normally just represented via the info_mask element IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE as an info_mask_shared_by_type.

The Apex Embedded Systems STX104 features 16 channels of single-ended (8 channels of true differential) 16-bit analog input. Differential input configuration may be selected via a physical jumper on the device. Similarly, input polarity (unipolar/bipolar) is configured via a physical jumper on the device.

Input gain selection is available to the user via software, thus allowing eight possible input ranges: +-10V, +-5V, +-2.5V, +-1.25V, 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V, 0 to 2.5V, and 0 to 1.25V. Four input gain configurations are supported: x1, x2, x4, and x8.

This ADC resolution is 16-bits (1/65536 of full scale). Analog input samples are taken on software trigger; neither FIFO sampling nor interrupt triggering is supported by this driver.

The Apex Embedded Systems STX104 is primarily an analog-to-digital converter device. The STX104 IIO driver was initially placed in the DAC directory because only the DAC portion of the STX104 was supported at the time. Now that ADC support has been added to the STX104 IIO driver, the driver should be moved to the more appropriate ADC directory.

Hi William,

I'd missed the odd use of an output channel to control scale. I'm guessing this is because we are looking at actual control of a front end separate amplifier on the board? However as far as the driver is confirmed this is no different from any multi range ADC and so should be done with IIO_INFO_SCALE.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Holiday season I'm afraid.

I'm confused. You have a separate output channel to control gain? Why... Variable gain devices are normally just represented via the info_mask element IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE as an info_mask_shared_by_type.

Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for getting back to me. I did have trouble figuring out the proper way to expose the gain control for this device. Perhaps if I describe the register interface it may make more sense.

The STX104 ADC input range may be probed with a read to register offset 11; bit 2 represents the ADC bipolar/unipolar configuration (ADBU), while bits 1 and 0 represent the ADC gain setting. ADBU is configured by physical jumper on the device, while the ADC gain setting is configured in software via a register write.

ADC gain may be set with a write of bits 1 and 0 to register offset 11; 00 = gain of x1, 01 = gain of x2, 10 = gain of x4, 11 = gain of x8. Writing to this register sets the analog input gain for all 8/16 analog inputs.

Since the ADC gain setting applies to all analog inputs rather than individual inputs separately, what is the proper way to expose this option? Should I remove the STX104_GAIN_CHAN #define entirely and use something like the following change instead:

	#define STX104_IN_CHAN(chan, diff) {				\
		.type = IIO_VOLTAGE,					\
		.channel = chan,					\
		.channel2 = chan,					\
		.info_mask_shared_by_type = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE),	\
		.info_mask_separate = BIT(IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW),		\
		.indexed = 1,						\
		.output = 0,						\
		.differential = diff					\
	}

Where the IIO_CHAN_INFO_SCALE now exposes the gain setting affecting all analog inputs.

Thanks,

Yes. Basically using shared_by_type gives it an appropriate name in_voltage_scale and though you have the entry every time, only one attribute is created. The others act more as documentation in the code than anything else (so they should be there).
