iio: pressure: bmp280: Use char instead of s32 for data buffer
Posted by Vasileios Amoiridis 1 year, 5 months ago
As it was reported and discussed here [1], storing the sensor data in an
endian aware s32 buffer is not optimal. Advertising the timestamp as an
addition of 2 s32 variables which is also implied is again not the best
practice. For that reason, change the s32 sensor_data buffer to a char
buffer with an extra value for the timestamp (as it is common practice).

Hi.
Thanks for poking. Looks like I'd accidentally marked this one handled
without actually doing so :(

The 4's in here are magic indexes.  Probably use sizeof(s32) in both cases.
Maybe for the first one make the fact it's after an s32 explicit with
&data->buffer.buf[1 * sizeof(s32)]

Of carry an offset through the code that you update when you fill in part of
the buffer.  That is probably cleaner.

	int offset = 0;
	stuff
	offset += sizeof(s32);
	mempcy(&data->bufer.buf[offset], &ret, 4);

if offset is used for a later entry then add the new element.

as above, but here it is I guess after 2 other elements, so

2 * sizeof(s32)

We have a new aligned_s64 that is cleaner for these cases.  It's only
in my togreg branch currently though so you'll need to base on that
to use it.

Looks nice. I could also move both memcpy() after the if's so in case
there is an error I save myself from memcpy() once for no reason.
