Subject: [PATCH RFC 3/3] iio: core: use kstrtodec64() to parse fixed-point values
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:34:58 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001-e-notation-v1-3-75187bf06c10@analog.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001-e-notation-v1-0-75187bf06c10@analog.com>

From: Rodrigo Alencar <rodrigo.alencar@analog.com>

Replace the open-coded __iio_str_to_fixpoint() parser with
kstrtodec64(), so sysfs writes of fixed-point values also accept E
notation. The scale passed to kstrtodec64() comes from fract_mult, which
is a power of ten, 10^n, so ffs(10^n) = n + 1. The fractional part only
keeps the sign when the integer part is zero, as before.

The dB suffix for scale attributes is now handled by a separate
iio_str_to_fixpoint_units() helper. It strips an optional trailing
newline and the "dB" or " dB" suffix before parsing.

When there is no fractional part (fract_mult == 0, or dec_scale == 0 for
64-bit values), try base-autodetecting kstrtoll() first so hexadecimal
and octal input keeps its meaning ("010" is still 8). Fall back to
kstrtodec64() on -EINVAL to accept E notation.

As a side effect, inputs that used to be rejected for integer-only
attributes are now accepted. An invalid octal number such as "08" is
parsed as decimal 8, and a fractional value such as "1.5" is truncated
to 1, matching how kstrtodec64() drops digits beyond the requested
scale.
