Add validate_trigger function in iio_trigger_ops and
dev_attr_parent_trigger into trigger attribute group to be able
to accept triggers as parents.

Because the hardware have 8 different ways to use parent levels and
edges, this patch introduce "slave_mode" sysfs attribute for stm32
triggers. Modes usages are described in sysfs-bus-iio-timer-stm32

version 2:
- use dev_attr_parent_trigger
- improve slave modes documentation

Hi All,

Would be really helpful to get some other input on this.
It's fiddly to put it lightly but if we get it right I think
the interface will be useful in all sorts of common cases.

Hi Benjamin,

I'm increasingly convinced we need to be careful with the ABI
on this to end up with something generic. It's useful stuff, but
this particular hardware fuses various concepts based on them
being on the same wire taking no noticed of whether the hardware
upstream constrains what makes sense.

Rarely are those concepts independent of
what is actually wired to that signal so on a real system
it is a lot less flexible than the hardware on it's own might
imply.

This is really giving me a headache on a Sunday afternoon. 
I don't have a good answer (yet). I'd like to completely
separate the concepts but it is not obvious how to do it.

I appreciate that what I'm asking will make this driver more
complex, but I think we need to reflect accurately what the signals
are in order to not leave userspace with access to modes that make
absolutely no sense for a given hardware setup.

This is a bit rambling, but hopefully following through will
make sense...

I think we need to drive this towards a generic description, whether that's easy or not.
This needs to be clear and extensible.

Don't bother with this first one.  The way to disable a parent trigger is to not have
one assigned.

Remember a trigger won't have any effect on anything until we have a buffer
actually using it so it doesn't matter what mode we come up in initially.
Let the default be anything as that will be easier for a generic interface.

Conceptually these are clocks that are getting divided down. So the
child trigger has to have some concept of a divisor being applied.
We can then describe these, but it needs to be a truly generic
fashion which will be tricky.  In a sense, I'd expect these to be
properties of the parent trigger rather than how it is being used
by the child.

Hmm.  Not sure on this so would like other opinions.
The concept of triggers having two channels is somewhat of a stretch.

To my mind, whether the inputs are connected to an encoder and what type
it is should probably be a device tree property.  You wouldn't typically
pretend for some channels that you have an encoder and reset on other
channels.  So I think a trigger at the top level should be either
an encoder or not and it should know from DT what type it is.

This may be a pain to implement, but I think we need to do so.

These two are our classic cases on a 'counting' trigger but in this case it is fed by another clock.
It think we need to separate that relationship.

A trigger that is a clock divider (fires every N clock cycles) can have:

1) A clock source, be it the default one / external or one of the encoder types
(though a given input should only be able to provide one of them as that
is pretty much a wiring question rather than policy decision).

2) A parent trigger which can drive reset, gating (ignore clock) or starting

I have no issue with these both being controllable from userspace, but
I can't see a generic interface where they are both via a single
simple attribute.

Note that in IIO ABI it is absolutely acceptable to have any attribute
change the value of any other (hardware dependencies are way to complex
to represent explicitly in some cases - like this one).

So I think we might need quite a few attrs to make this work.

parent-trigger
 	- as it is, but only handling the ones that are effecting the 'state' of the trigger counter, not it's rate.

parent-clock
	- allow this to also take a trigger but will be used in only the clock modes. If set to null we are on
	the internal clock. Will be cleared if a parent-trigger is set as it can't be both.
        I'm not sure this will generalise well as we might feed of things that aren't trigger.

parent-clock-interpretation
	- encoder, normal (at a push, maybe the encoder types but with meaningful names reflecting their wiring)
         (I'd actually much prefer these to be facets of the parent trigger - it only makes sense if
	there is an encoder there or not - they also need not be configured from userspace)

parent-trigger-interpretation
	- reset, gated, start


We could flatten this perhaps by broadening the parent-trigger concept to explicitly allow it to be a clock.

parent-trigger:
parent-trigger-interpretation:
	- reset_counter, gated, start_counter, as_clock (only gated is really generic, in that
it could apply to any trigger including those that aren't periodic counters)

parent-trigger-clock-type
	- encoder, normal - though I think these really ought to be part of the parent trigger itself.
As I've said, it makes no sense to be an encoder if there isn't encoder hardware on the wires.

I think I'm favouring the last option as long as the clock type in those modes is coming from
DT or similar for the parent trigger. To my mind it has nothing really to do with the child
trigger.


Anyhow, everyone please take a look at this!. It's a fairly big chunk of ABI that we will
probably want to use more widely.

Certainly applying a sysfs or interrrupt trigger (on a gpio) as a parent to a high resolution
timer trigger and using in startcounter or resetcounter modes seems to me a very useful
tool to have more generally.  Even gated might work well for osciloscope type triggered
captures.

If we generalize the hrt slightly to be on for a period then we can do something like.

gpio based interrupt trigger ---resetcounter--> hrttimer (on after a time, off sometime later
--- gated ---> hrttimer at high frequency

Which is relatively elegant and uses simple elements.

Not without a reset or index mark being built in, it doesn't.  Relative angular position. I've not come
across a pot that works this way (any links?)

That makes these child triggers really periodic timers, just with weird clock inputs.

Maybe it give you a headache because it is going in wrong way...

I just discover that an quadratic encoder driver exist in IIO (104-quad-8).
From my point of view it does exactly the same than my hardware:
- there are channels to read/write counter value and set/get preset value.
- counting modes are exposed using iio_enum
- counter direction could read from a channel

The main differences are the number and definition of counting modes.
Implementing my driver in this way is even better since it will allow to get/set
the counter and that was missing in parent trigger approach.

To summarize I could:
- use the current code (iio trigger) set a sampling frequency for ADC/DAC
- add quadratic encoder like (iio device) with counting mode, count direction,
  quadrature mode and counter value channels.

That would really simplify the problem !

Good point.  Thought the whole question of how to then provide triggers from the counters
still remains.

Anyhow will be interesting so see what you come up with.

Note the counter stuff is pretty new and we have at least one other driver on its
way using it (the encoder hardware on the beaglebone black) so will be an area that
is likely to still be evolving!

+Description:
+		Reading returns the list possible slave modes which are:
+		- "disabled"  : Parent trigger levels or edges have do not impact on trigger.
+				Trigger is clocked by the internal clock.
+				This is the default mode.
+		- "encoder_1" : Trigger internal counter counts up/down on channel 2 edge depending on channel 1 level.
+		- "encoder_2" : Trigger internal counter counts up/down on channel 1 edge depending on channel 2 level.
+		- "encoder_3" : Trigger internal counter counts up/down on channels 1 & 2 edge
+				depending on channel 1 & 2 level.
+		- "reset"     : Rising edge on parent trigger reinitializes the trigger	and generates
+				an update of auto-reload, prescaler and	repetition counter registers.
+		- "gated"     : The trigger is enabled when the parent trigger input is high.
+				The trigger stops (but is not reset) as soon as the parent trigger becomes low.
+		- "trigger"   : The trigger starts at a rising edge of the parent trigger (but it is not reset).
+		- "external_clock": Rising edges of the parent trigger clock the trigger.
+
+		Encoder modes are used to automatically handle the counting direction of the internal counter.
+		Those modes are typically used for high-accuracy rotor position sensing in electrical motors
+		or for digital potentiometers. From the two outputs of a quadrature encoder sensor the timer
+		extracts a clock on each and every active edge and adjusts the counting direction depending on
+		the relative phase-shift between the two incomings signals. The timer counter thus directly
+		holds the angular position of the motor or the potentionmeter.
+
+		For "reset", "gated" and "trigger" modes the trigger will fire N+1 times when internal counter
+		will reach the value of auto-reload register. N is defined by the value of repetition counter.
+		Those modes could allow parent trigger to control when sampling frequency of the current trigger
+		start or stop.
+		Since PWM and trigger features are mixed in the same hardware block those 3 modes could be used
+		to synchronize PWMs start while PWM sysfs API is used to set period and duty cycle.
+
+		In "external clock" mode parent trigger can control the current trigger clock (and so the sampling
+		frequency) for example to correct jittering.
