[ Upstream commit 1a97905d3e48ebe79a06d16143fbfa427c56ce5f ] This is a Framework to handle complex IIO aggregate devices. The typical architecture is to have one device as the frontend device which can be "linked" against one or multiple backend devices. All the IIO and userspace interface is expected to be registers/managed by the frontend device which will callback into the backends when needed (to get/set some configuration that it does not directly control). The basic framework interface is pretty simple: - Backends should register themselves with @devm_iio_backend_register() - Frontend devices should get backends with @devm_iio_backend_get() Signed-off-by: Nuno Sa <nuno.sa@analog.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240210-iio-backend-v11-5-f5242a5fb42a@analog.com Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko <andy.shevchenko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com> Stable-dep-of: cf1c833f89e7 ("iio: adc: adi-axi-adc: only error out in major version mismatch") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
