Subject: [PATCH] iio: adc: ad7124: fix sample rate for multi-channel use
Change how the FS[10:0] field of the FILTER register is calculated to
get consistent sample rates when only one channel is enabled vs when
multiple channels are enabled in a buffered read.
By default, the AD7124 allows larger sampling frequencies when only one
channel is enabled. It assumes that you will discard the first sample or
so to allow for settling time and then no additional settling time is
needed between samples because there is no multiplexing due to only one
channel being enabled. The conversion formula to convert between the
sampling frequency and the FS[10:0] field is:
fADC = fCLK / (FS[10:0] x 32)
which is what the driver has been using.
On the other hand, when multiple channels are enabled, there is
additional settling time needed when switching between channels so the
calculation to convert between becomes:
fADC = fCLK / (FS[10:0] x 32 x (4 + AVG - 1))
where AVG depends on the filter type selected and the power mode.
The FILTER register has a SINGLE_CYCLE bit that can be set to force the
single channel case to use the same timing as the multi-channel case.
Before this change, the first formula was always used, so if all of the
in_voltageY_sampling_frequency attributes were set to 10 Hz, then doing
a buffered read with 1 channel enabled would result in the requested
sampling frequency of 10 Hz. But when more than one channel was
enabled, the actual sampling frequency would be 2.5 Hz per channel,
which is 1/4 of the requested frequency.
After this change, the SINGLE_CYCLE flag is now always enabled and the
multi-channel formula is now always used. This causes the sampling
frequency to be consistent regardless of the number of channels enabled.
Technically, introducing the avg parameter is not needed at this time
since we currently only support a single filter mode which always has an
AVG value of 1. But it helps to show where the factor comes from in the
datasheet and will be used in the future when supporting additional
filter types.
The AD7124_FILTER_FS define is moved while we are touching this to
keep the bit fields in descending order to be consistent with the rest
of the file.

This is one of those unfortunate cases where we are fixing a bug but we
risk breaking userspace that may be depending on the buggy behavior.
I intentionally didn't include a Fixes: tag for this reason.
Given some of the other shortcomings of this driver, like using an
integer IIO_CHAN_INFO_SAMP_FREQ value when it really needs to allow a
fractional values, it makes me hopeful that no one is caring too much
about the exact value of the sampling frequency. So I'm more willing
than I would normally be to take a risk on making this change.
I also have a plan to resolve things if we do find we broke someone and
need to revert the change. We have a recent devicetree fix [1] for these
chips that would allow us to detect "new" users using the correct DT
bindings and "old" users using the buggy bindings. So we could use this
as a way to also enable the old buggy sampling frequency behavior only
for "old" users while allowing "new" users to get the correct behavior.
