A number of new drivers and some new functionality + a lot of cleanups
all over IIO.
New Core Elements
1) New INT_TIME info_mask element for integration time, which may have
different effects on measurement noise and similar, than an amplifier
and hence is different from existing SCALE. Already existed in some
drivers as a custom attribute.
2) Introduce a iio_push_buffers_with_timestamp helper to cover the common
case of filling the last 64 bits of data to be passed to the buffer with
a timestamp. Applied to lots of drivers. Cuts down on repeated code and
moves a slightly fiddly bit of logic into a single location.
3) Introduce info_mask_[shared_by_dir/shared_by_all] elements to allow support
of elements such as sampling_frequency which is typically shared by all
input channels on a device. This reduces code and makes these controls
available from in kernel consumers of IIO devices.
New drivers
1) MCP3422/3/4 ADC
2) TSL4531 ambient light sensor
3) TCS3472/5 color light sensor
4) GP2AP020A00F ambient light / proximity sensor
5) LPS001WP support added to ST pressure sensor driver.
New driver functionality
1) ti_am335x_adc Add buffered sampling support.
This device has a hardware fifo that is fed directly into an IIO kfifo
buffer based on a watershed interrupt. Note this will act as an example
of how to handle this increasingly common type of device.
The only previous example - sca3000 - take a less than optimal approach
which is largely why it is still in staging.
A couple of little cleanups for that new functionality followed later.
Core cleanups:
1) MAINTAINERS - Sachin actually brought my email address up to date because
I said I'd do it and never got around to it :)
2) Assign buffer list elements as single element lists to simplify the
iio_buffer_is_active logic.
3) wake_up_interruptible_poll instead of wake_up_interruptible to only wake
up threads waiting for poll notifications.
4) Add O_CLOEXEC flag to anon_inode_get_fd call for IIO event interface.
5) Change iio_push_to_buffers to take a void * pointer so as to avoid some
annoying and unnecessary type casts.
6) iio_compute_scan_bytes incorrectly took a long rather than unsigned long.
7) Various minor tidy ups.
Driver cleanups (in no particular order)
1) Another set of devm_ allocations patches from Sachin Kamat.
2) tsl2x7x - 0 to NULL cleanup.
3) hmc5843 - fix missing > in MODULE_AUTHOR
4) Set of strict_strto* to kstrto* conversions.
5) mxs-lradc - fix ordering of resource removal to match creation
6) mxs-lradc - add MODULE_ALIAS
7) adc7606 - drop a work pending test duplicated in core functions.
8) hmc5843 - devm_ allocation patch
9) Series of redundant breaks removed.
10) ad2s1200 - pr_err -> dev_err
11) adjd_s311 - use INT_TIME
12) ST sensors - large set of cleanups from Lee Jones and removed restriction
to using only triggers provided by the st_sensors themselves from
Dennis Ciocca.
13) dummy and tmp006 provide sampling_frequency via info_mask_shared_by_all.
14) tcs3472 - fix incorrect buffer size and wrong device pointer used in
suspend / resume functions.
15) max1363 - use defaults for buffer setup ops as provided by the triggered
buffer helpers as they are the same as were specified in max1363 driver.
16) Trivial tidy ups in a number of other drivers.

This directory attempts to document the ABI between the Linux kernel and userspace, and the relative stability of these interfaces. Due to the everchanging nature of Linux, and the differing maturity levels, these interfaces should be used by userspace programs in different ways. We have four different levels of ABI stability, as shown by the four different subdirectories in this location. Interfaces may change levels of stability according to the rules described below. The different levels of stability are: stable/ This directory documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable. Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years. Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be available. testing/ This directory documents interfaces that are felt to be stable, as the main development of this interface has been completed. The interface can be changed to add new features, but the current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave errors or security problems are found in them. Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to be marked stable. Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel developers can easily notify them if any changes occur (see the description of the layout of the files below for details on how to do this.) obsolete/ This directory documents interfaces that are still remaining in the kernel, but are marked to be removed at some later point in time. The description of the interface will document the reason why it is obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed. removed/ This directory contains a list of the old interfaces that have been removed from the kernel. Every file in these directories will contain the following information: What: Short description of the interface Date: Date created KernelVersion: Kernel version this feature first showed up in. Contact: Primary contact for this interface (may be a mailing list) Description: Long description of the interface and how to use it. Users: All users of this interface who wish to be notified when it changes. This is very important for interfaces in the "testing" stage, so that kernel developers can work with userspace developers to ensure that things do not break in ways that are unacceptable. It is also important to get feedback for these interfaces to make sure they are working in a proper way and do not need to be changed further. How things move between levels: Interfaces in stable may move to obsolete, as long as the proper notification is given. Interfaces may be removed from obsolete and the kernel as long as the documented amount of time has gone by. Interfaces in the testing state can move to the stable state when the developers feel they are finished. They cannot be removed from the kernel tree without going through the obsolete state first. It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they wish for it to start out in.
