    iio: buffer-dmaengine: Report buffer length requirements · 4538c185
    Lars-Peter Clausen authored
    The dmaengine buffer has some length alignment requirements that can differ
    from platform to platform. If the length alignment requirements are not met
    unexpected behavior like dropping of samples can occur.
    
    Currently these requirements are not reported and applications need to know
    the requirements of the platform by some out-of-band means.
    
    Add a new buffer attribute that reports the length alignment requirements
    called `length_align_bytes`. The reported length alignment is in bytes that
    means the buffer length alignment in sample sets depends on the number of
    enabled channels and the bytes per channel. Applications using this
    attribute to determine the buffer size requirements need to consider this.
