The ROHM BD79112 is an ADC/GPIO with 32 channels. The channel inputs can be used as ADC or GPIO. Using the GPIOs as IRQ sources isn't supported. The ADC is 12-bit, supporting input voltages up to 5.7V, and separate I/O voltage supply. Maximum SPI clock rate is 20 MHz (10 MHz with daisy-chain configuration) and maximum sampling rate is 1MSPS. The IC does also support CRC but it is not implemented in the driver....quoted

I can see you think so :) For me it doesn't look good. This is in-kernel C-code not physics textbook. For the kernel C it has been convention to _not_ use capital letters (or CamelCase) for variables. This convention is strong enough reason for me to avoid mV in a variable name because the capital letter instantly requires my attention and makes me need to consider if this is "just a variable". What comes to the vref_mv, there really are no true downside. It is clear what the _mv suffix denotes and "there is no 'mv' in physics" is really an artificial problem.

I am not really sure under what conditions this would fail. Without taking a further look at that - then we just use unoptimized SPI transfers(?). Could warrant a warning print though. Thanks for taking a look at this again :) Yours, -- Matti
