[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: iio: tyhx,hx9023s: Add performance tuning configuration
Posted by Yasin Lee 2 months ago
When hardware design introduces significant sensor data noise,
performance can be improved by adjusting register settings.

I think you wanted here in such case uint8-matrix with one dimension set
to two and other 256 or whatever.

I also wonder why do allow any register to be tuned. To me "tuning"
sounds like improving or tweaking the configuration, so for example I
would not expect to change some control-like registers, e.g. interrupts,
enable/disable, reset etc.

This above is clearing entirely the GLOBAL_CTRL0 register, which is not
tuning.

You are basically avoiding hardware description as properties in DT and
just dump a blob.


Best regards,

Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for your feedback.

You're absolutely right about the operation on the 00 register. That was 
indeed a mistake on my part, and it was not my intention to clear the 
GLOBAL_CTRL0 register. It was only meant to serve as an example.

I also now understand that importing a data block in this manner doesn't 
align with the design philosophy of device trees. Moving forward, I will 
abstract each possible tuning configuration into separate properties. 
Since there are quite a few properties to handle, this will result in a 
larger codebase.

Given the additional work required, I will take a few more days to 
revise the patch and resubmit it.

Thank you again for your valuable input.

Best regards,
Yasin Lee
