Those nodes are designated as IIO providers. IIO consumer +nodes use a phandle and IIO specifier pair to connect IIO provider +outputs to IIO inputs. Similar to the gpio specifiers, an IIO +specifier is an array of one or more cells identifying the IIO +output on a device. The length of an IIO specifier is defined by the +value of a #io-channel-cells property in the IIO provider node. + +[1] http://marc.info/?l=linux-iio&m=135902119507483&w=2 + +==IIO providers== + +Required properties: +#io-channel-cells: Number of cells in an IIO specifier; Typically 0 for nodes + with a single IIO output and 1 for nodes with multiple + IIO outputs. + +Example for a simple configuration with no trigger: + + adc: voltage-sensor@35 { + compatible = "maxim,max1139"; + reg = <0x35>; + #io-channel-cells = <1>; + }; + +Example for a configuration with trigger: + + adc@35 { + compatible = "some-vendor,some-adc"; + reg = <0x35>; + + adc1: iio-device@0 { + #io-channel-cells = <1>; + /* other properties */ + }; + adc2: iio-device@1 { + #io-channel-cells = <1>; + /* other properties */ + }; + }; + +==IIO consumers== + +Required properties: +io-channels: List of phandle and IIO specifier pairs, one pair + for each IIO input to the device. Note: if the + IIO provider specifies '0' for #io-channel-cells, + then only the phandle portion of the pair will appear. + +Optional properties: +io-channel-names: + List of IIO input name strings sorted in the same + order as the io-channels property. Consumers drivers + will use io-channel-names to match IIO input names + with IIO specifiers. +io-channel-ranges: + Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit named + IIO channels from this node. Useful for bus nodes to provide + and IIO channel to their children. + +For example: + + device { + io-channels = <&adc 1>, <&ref 0>; + io-channel-names = "vcc", "vdd"; + }; + +This represents a device with two IIO inputs, named "vcc" and "vdd". +The vcc channel is connected to output 1 of the &adc device, and the +vdd channel is connected to output 0 of the &ref device. + +==Example== + + adc: max1139@35 { + compatible = "maxim,max1139"; + reg = <0x35>; + #io-channel-cells = <1>; + }; + + ... + + iio_hwmon { + compatible = "iio-hwmon"; + io-channels = <&adc 0>, <&adc 1>, <&adc 2>, + <&adc 3>, <&adc 4>, <&adc 5>, + <&adc 6>, <&adc 7>, <&adc 8>, + <&adc 9>; + }; + + some_consumer { + compatible = "some-consumer"; + io-channels = <&adc 10>, <&adc 11>; + io-channel-names = "adc1", "adc2"; + }; |
