Subject: [PATCH v6 6/7] iio: ABI: Add custom data type
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:06:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260225100608.2367061-6-flavra@baylibre.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260225100608.2367061-1-flavra@baylibre.com>

This type is used when the data received from or sent to a device cannot be
identified with a standard type and must be processed by custom userspace.
Any driver using the custom type must provide a driver-specific document
that explains what the data represents and how it is to be interpreted by
userspace.
