Subject: [PATCH v5 6/7] iio: core: use kstrtodec64() to parse fixed-point values
Date: Mon, 02 Nov 2026 07:41:04 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102-e-notation-v5-6-d399e544a982@analog.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102-e-notation-v5-0-d399e544a982@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 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 rounded
to 2.
