This callback is introduced to overcome some limitations of existing
read_raw callback. The functionality of both existing read_raw and
read_raw_multi is similar, both are used to request values from the
device. The current read_raw callback allows only two return values.
The new read_raw_multi allows returning multiple values. Instead of
passing just address of val and val2, it passes length and pointer
to values. Depending on the type and length of passed buffer, iio
client drivers can return multiple values.

<title>iio: Extend the event config interface</title>

<content type='text'>
The event configuration interface of the IIO framework has not been getting the
same attention as other parts. As a result it has not seen the same improvements
as e.g. the channel interface has seen with the introduction of the channel spec
struct. Currently all the event config callbacks take a u64 (the so called event
code) to pass all the different information about for which event the callback
is invoked. The callback function then has to extract the information it is
interested in using some macros with rather long names. Most information encoded
in the event code comes straight from the iio_chan_spec struct the event was
registered for. Since we always have a handle to the channel spec when we call
the event callbacks the first step is to add the channel spec as a parameter to
the event callbacks. The two remaining things encoded in the event code are the
type and direction of the event. Instead of passing them in one parameter, add
one parameter for each of them and remove the eventcode from the event
callbacks. The patch also adds a new iio_event_info parameter to the
{read,write}_event_value callbacks. This makes it possible, similar to the
iio_chan_info_enum for channels, to specify additional properties other than
just the value for an event. Furthermore the new interface will allow to
register shared events. This is e.g. useful if a device allows configuring a
threshold event, but the threshold setting is the same for all channels.

To implement this the patch adds a new iio_event_spec struct which is similar to
the iio_chan_spec struct. It as two field to specify the type and the direction
of the event. Furthermore it has a mask field for each one of the different
iio_shared_by types. These mask fields holds which kind of attributes should be
registered for the event. Creation of the attributes follows the same rules as
the for the channel attributes. E.g. for the separate_mask there will be a
attribute for each channel with this event, for the shared_by_type there will
only be one attribute per channel type. The iio_chan_spec struct gets two new
fields, 'event_spec' and 'num_event_specs', which is used to specify which the
events for this channel. These two fields are going to replace the channel's
event_mask field.

For now both the old and the new event config interface coexist, but over the
few patches all drivers will be converted from the old to the new interface.
Once that is done all code for supporting the old interface will be removed.

For ADCs or DACs the denominator for fractional types often is a power of two.
In this case we can use a shift operation instead of the rather expensive 64 bit
division. This patch adds a new fractional type which expects the denominator to
be specified as the log2 of the actual denominator. E.g. for ADCs and DACs this
will usually be the number of significant bits.

Currently IIO uses a decimal fixed point representations for real type numbers.
This patch introduces a new representation for rational type numbers. The number
will be expressed by specifying a numerator and denominator. For converting a
raw value to a processed value multiply it by the numerator and divide it by the
denominator.

The reasoning for introducing this new type is that for a lot of devices the
scale can be represented easily by a fractional number, but it is not possible
to represent it as fixed point number without rounding.  E.g. for a simple DAC
the scale is often the reference voltage divided by the number of possible
values (Usually 2**n_bits - 1). Each driver currently implements the conversion
of this fraction to a fixed point number on its own.

Also when it comes to the in-kernel interface this allows to directly use the
fractional factors to convert a raw value to a processed value. This should on
one hand require less instructions and on the other hand increase the
precision.
