Hi Alexandru,

Sorry for this late reply,

I remember that by adding specific at91_adc code for 
predisable/postenable , I was replacing the existing standard callback 
with my own, and have my specific at91 code before postenable and then 
calling the subsystem postenable,
and in similar way, for predisable, first call the subsystem predisable 
then doing my predisable code (in reverse order as in postenable)

If you say the order should be reversed (basically have the pollfunction 
first), how is current code working ?
Should current code fail if the poll function is not attached in time ? 
Or there is a race between triggered data and the attachment of the 
pollfunc ?

I am thinking that attaching the pollfunc later makes it work because 
the DMA is not started yet. What happens if we have the pollfunc 
attached but DMA is not started (basically the trigger is not started) , 
can this lead to unexpected behavior ? Like the pollfunc polling but no 
trigger started/no DMA started.

I would prefer if this label is named with a function name prefix, 
otherwise 'out' is pretty generic and can collide with other things in 
the file... I want to avoid having an out2 , out3 later if code changes.

Thanks for the patch,
Eugen
