From 8cb3403633146afe1ba81f79224679f5df2940d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Merello Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2019 15:47:51 +0100 Subject: iio: core: add char type for sysfs attributes This patch introduces IIO_VAL_CHAR type for standard IIO attributes to allow for attributes that needs to be represented by character rather than a number. This is preparatory for introducing a new attribute whose purpose is to describe thermocouple type, that can be i.e. "J", "K", etc.. The char-type value is stored in the first "value" integer that is passed to the .[read/write]_raw() callbacks. Note that in order to make it possible for the IIO core to correctly parse this type (actually, to avoid integer parsing), it became mandatory for any driver that wish to use IIO_VAL_CHAR on a writable attribute to implement .write_raw_get_fmt().
