Straight forward conversion from spear-adc.txt into yaml format.
Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Gobbi <rodrigo.gobbi.7@gmail.com>

Some constraints were extracted from the driver (spear_adc.c) and the public datasheet
referenced at the yaml.
Changelog:
v2: add constraints over properties and remove a ref at MAINTAINERS file.

For consistency probably wants a full stop. (as well as units)

It is odd to have a default outside of range. I'll wait
to see what Conor suggests for that. I'm fine with anything
that doesn't trip up the dt parsing!

I think you should note that this is in Hz, while you're at it.

Is 0 the default here or 1? "Single data conversion" sounds more like 1
sample than 0, and the default of 0 is below the minimum of 1. What's
going on there?

The "adc:" label here can be removed, it's not doing anything!

This change seems unneeded? The main iio entry already covers this
directory. I think you can probably just drop the line from the staging
entry?

Good point, after I`ve submitted the patch I was double checking it and noticed that too. It`s stange because the public datasheet mentions "Programmable averaging of results from 1 (No averaging) up to 128". Meanwhile, the spear_adc.c driver at probe stated the following: /* * Optional avg_samples defaults to 0, resulting in single data * conversion */ device_property_read_u32(dev, "average-samples", &st->avg_samples); Since avg_samples is inside struct spear_adc_state *st; which is allocated with devm_iio_device_alloc() (which uses the kzalloc/zero filling the priv data): indio_dev = devm_iio_device_alloc(dev, sizeof(struct spear_adc_state)); if (!indio_dev) return dev_err_probe(dev, -ENOMEM, "failed allocating iio device\n"); st = iio_priv(indio_dev); ...matches the driver comment meaning the default is actually "0", single data, but it does not match the public datasheet in my understanding. Since I don`t have access to a more detailed datasheet, I chose to describe "1" as a minimum value, but I agree it is weird. Maybe we could drop the minimum constraint in this case (go with default and max)? Tks and regards.

Sounds like it's a 4-bit register where the samples is (1 + written value), and the property is expected to be written directly to the register. I'd then expect the property to be min 0, default 0, max 127. If you write 128 to the register, you'll accidentally set the external vref bit. I'd maybe go as far as &ing the value to make sure out of range stuff is not permitted?

Well, it looks like 4bit as you said (bits 5,6,7 and 8) and 9th bit is vref. But, in this case, it looks to me that we can only configure 0x15 as a max value, (didn`t see that before) which doesn`t fit the datasheet sentence that I`ve mentioned before: "Programmable averaging of results from 1 (No averaging) up to 128" I mean, I`m not sure how many samples are configured when using SPEAR_ADC_STATUS_AVG_SAMPLE(0xD) since we don`t have a register map describing how it encodes that internally. Maybe we can change the requirements for this field to be min 0, default 0, max 15? And at the drive side, we could use &ing as you said with 0xf before shiffting? If you have a different suggestion, I would appreciate it. ... #define SPEAR_ADC_STATUS_AVG_SAMPLE(x) ((x) << 5) #define SPEAR_ADC_STATUS_VREF_INTERNAL BIT(9) ... status = SPEAR_ADC_STATUS_CHANNEL_NUM(chan->channel) | SPEAR_ADC_STATUS_AVG_SAMPLE(st->avg_samples) | SPEAR_ADC_STATUS_START_CONVERSION | SPEAR_ADC_STATUS_ADC_ENABLE; Tks and regards.

Maybe we can change the requirements for this field to be > min 0, default 0, max 15? I think so, since that matches the behaviour that's been there in the driver since the property was introduced.
