[PATCH v2] Add continuous sampling with IIO buffers for Vybrid

Hello,

This patch adds support for continuous sampling provided by the
ADC block on Vybrid by leveraging the IIO triggered buffer and
IIO sysfs trigger infrastructure.

The patch has been tested on Colibri VF50 and VF61 on shawn's
tree for-next branch with the patches [1] and [2] applied.

The below script was used for testing.

#!/bin/sh

echo 0 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements/in_voltage9_en

echo 0 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements/in_voltage8_en
echo 0 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/scan_elements/in_voltage9_en

Feedback and comments are most welcome.

Changes since v2:
1. Use a fixed size buffer instead of kmalloc allocated during update
scan mode
2. Remove a write to read only register ADC_HS (COCO bit)

Had some additional queries.

On shawn's tree, using imx_v6_v7_defconfig and running the above
script on VF50 gives me the following trace:

On shawn's tree, using our own defconfig it all works fine.

The RCU related configs in imx_v6_v7_defconfig are:
# RCU Subsystem
CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y
# CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT is not set
CONFIG_SRCU=y
# CONFIG_TASKS_RCU is not set
CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON=y
# CONFIG_TREE_RCU_TRACE is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_EXPEDITE_BOOT is not set
# RCU Debugging
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y
# CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY is not set
# CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST is not set
CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT=21
CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO=y
# CONFIG_RCU_TRACE is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_EQS_DEBUG is not set

The RCU related configs in our own defconfig are:
# RCU Subsystem
CONFIG_TINY_RCU=y
CONFIG_SRCU=y
# CONFIG_TASKS_RCU is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_STALL_COMMON is not set
# CONFIG_TREE_RCU_TRACE is not set
CONFIG_RCU_KTHREAD_PRIO=0
# RCU Debugging
# CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST is not set
# CONFIG_RCU_TRACE is not set

With the above second set of configs I do not encounter any problems.

I do not have any knowledge on the RCU front, can someone also comment
with regards to that? Am I doing something wrong in the driver?
My guess would be those RCU STALL configs?

Thanks & Regards,
Sanchayan Maity.
