Re: [PATCH 1/1] : hwmon - new chip driver for TI ADS7828 A-D

Andrew,

Thanks your your comments, I'm currently preparing/testing a revised patch based on your suggestions, which I will post later this week.

A couple of comments inline.

Steve

I wouldn't bother with EXPERIMENTAL personally.  It seems a farily
pointless thing.


OK, I copied one of the other hwmon drivers, many of which are marked experimental.

+static int ads7828_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter);
+static int ads7828_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address, int kind);
+static void ads7828_init_client(struct i2c_client *client);
+static int ads7828_detach_client(struct i2c_client *client);
+static struct ads7828_data *ads7828_update_device(struct device *dev);
+static u16 ads7828_read_value(struct i2c_client *client, u8 reg);

I do dislike all these forward declarations, but they're all needed here
give the order of the functions.  Maybe from my Pascal-on-pdp11 days..


OK, this is due to re-using the driver structure/style of other hwmon drivers, will try to improve.

+static int ads7828_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter)
+{
+    if (!(adapter->class & I2C_CLASS_HWMON))
+        return 0;

Can this happen?

Hmmm, this code exists in pretty much all of the other hwmon drivers, so I will leave it in.

I think it relates to I2C vs ISA connected devices, to avoid detecting something with the correct ID on the wrong bus?
