[PATCH] iio: kx022a: Fix acceleration value scaling

From: Matti Vaittinen
Date: Thu Oct 19 2023 - 09:24:12 EST


The IIO ABI mandates acceleration values from accelerometer to be
emitted in m/s^2. The KX022A was emitting values in micro m/s^2.

Fix driver to report the correct scale values.

The fix is somewhat crude and just crops the last 3 digits (rounds) of the
scale while using IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO. I played with a thought of using
IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL, which could have modelled the computation
G_range * g * scaling / (2^16 * scaling) - where scaling 10000 would
have allowed using g value 980665.

This would have worked fine for reporting scale and available scales -
but would be somewhat tricky when converting the user-supplied scale to
register values in write_raw().

Well, the g varies from 9.832 (poles) to 9.780 (equator) according to
some website - no proper source check done but this sounds about right -
so maybe the loss of accuracy is acceptable.

I did only very quick testing on KX022A and iio_generic_buffer. After
the patch the values seemed to be correct order of magnitude. Further
testing is appreciated :)
