Hi,
My customer wants to be able to change the configuration of the four
channels of the ad74412 at run-time; their board can be used in various
scenarios, and having to specify the functions in device tree is too
inflexible.
Is there any precedent in other iio drivers for such a configuration
change, and/or is it feasible to implement this in the ad74413r.c driver?
I do not need to be able to change it continuously, just once after
userspace has come up and before anything actually starts making use of
the device, but it is not possible for me to know the correct
configuration in the bootloader, so having U-Boot patch the dtb is not
an option. A somewhat hacky way would be to build the driver as a
module, and allow module parameter(s) to overrule whatever is in
devicetree, but that doesn't really work if there was more than one
ad74412/ad74413 present, unless one invents and parses some weird syntax
to have certain settings apply to $this-chipselect on $that-bus.

Hi Rasmus,
I did not looked too deep into this but from what you described it
sounds like a nasty hack that I'm not sure if it's feasable... Would
devicetree overlays be an option for you? Some userspace daemon could
decide which one to load depending on the usecase?

Just to see how it would look, I tried doing the below. Since a board
may have more than one ad74412/ad74413, one needs to be able to
differentiate between them. So for now each module parameter channelX
(X=0,1,2,3) accepts a space-separated list of <label>:<function>,
where label is matched against the label property in device tree, but
also allowing * to match any, which is more convenient when one knows
there is only one device.
Aside from the missing documentation (MODULE_PARM_DESC), there are of
course various details to hash out. E.g., should the function be
specified with a raw integer as here, or should we take a text string
"voltage-output", "current-input-ext-power" etc. and translate those?
Should we use space or comma or semicolon as separator? And so on.
I also considered whether instead of the label one should instead
match on the OF_FULLNAME,
e.g. /soc@0/bus@30800000/spi@30840000/ad74412r@0, but that's a lot
more complicated, and I assume that anybody that has more than one of
these chips would anyway assign a label so that they can distinguish
their /sys/bus/iio/... directories.
I should also note that it is not unprecedented for modules to take
parameters that do some sort of (ad hoc) parsing to apply settings
per-device. For example:
- ignore_wake in drivers/gpio/gpiolib-acpi.c
- mtdparts in drivers/mtd/parsers/cmdlinepart.c
- pci_devs_to_hide in drivers/xen/xen-pciback/pci_stub.c
- quirks in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c
So the question is, is there any chance that anything like this could
be accepted? If so, I'll of course spin this into a real patch with
proper MODULE_PARM_DESC and commit log etc.
This has been tested doing
insmod ad74413r.ko 'channel0=*:1' 'channel1=*:3' 'channel2=*:2' 'channel3=*:4'
and seeing that the channels did indeed come up as expected, where the
device tree specified CH_FUNC_HIGH_IMPEDANCE for all of them.

Nuno previously mentioned dynamically loading device tree overlays,
which seems like a much cleaner solution to me. Have you looked into
that?

We are unlikely to take anything else I'm afraid. So hopefully
device tree overlays will work for you.
Dynamic configuration of pretty much anything about input OR output would
be potentially fine (we'd probably want to add limits on output settings
which I think we've done for some devices). A userspace interface to
switch between those is much more of a corner case and could lead to
hardware damage depending on exactly what is connected to the pins.
