SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 06/13] iio: imu: inv_icm42600: add temperature sensor support
Date
Hello Lars,

for the temperature data, the problem is that temperature in the FIFO (used in buffer) is not in the same format than when reading the register.

Reading the temperature register return a full precision value on 16 bits. I am using a PROCESSED attribute for it.
Temperature data in buffer (coming from the FIFO) is on 8 bits in lower precision. It is reported as raw data, thus the need of the offset and scale values.

So offset and scale values are only for transforming the temperature data from the buffer, and direct read is a full precision already processed in m°C.

Thanks for the review,
JB

If the data is returned processed there is no need to specify scale and
offset.

But since the transformation to turn the data into standard units is a
simple linear transform the preferred way to handle this is to return
RAW data and specify scale and offset.
