Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: iio: pressure: add honeywell,hsc030

[Petre Rodan]

Hello Krzysztof,

thanks for the pointer regarding the version requirement for jsonschema.
installing an older version fixed all python exceptions.

I'm new to this, please excuse my ignorance.
my driver covers all Honeywell pressure sensors under the "TruStability board mount HSC/SSC" moniker.
that is why my intention was to provide a rather generic name for the driver itself.
are you afraid that they will come up with a different device that they will call "hsc" in the future?
in this case honeywell,trustability-hsc would be fine?

as I see you prefer to target a particular chip, but I am a bit afraid that the end-user will be confused by needing to set up something like

pressure@28 {
	compatible = "honeywell,hsc030pa";
	reg = <0x28>;
	honeywell,transfer-function = <0>;
	honeywell,pressure-range = "250MD";
};

ie. specifying "hsc030pa" as driver while his chip is not in the 030PA range, but 250MD.

so do you prefer
 honeywell,trustability-hsc  OR
 honeywell,hsc030pa

will rename to honeywell,pressure-range if that is ok with you.

signed int32 is intentional. some chips have two physical input ports and measure a pressure differential in which case pmin is negative.
see either of the pdfs at page 14, table 8, column 2, row 7+

well, since we saw pmin needs to be signed should we have pmax unsigned?

ok, ignore rambling.

will replace block with

  spi-max-frequency:
    maximum: 800000

as I saw in other yaml files

dropped clock-frequency

everything else below will be as you asked.

I will provide a new set of patches after I get your inpyt.
