[PATCH v3 0/5] ARM: dts: qcom: msm8960: expressatt: Add more peripherals

[Rudraksha Gupta via B4 Relay]

Intro:
=================
The following is now working on the Samsung Galaxy Express SGH-I437, an
old 2012 Android phone:
- Light Sensor
    - Proximity is currently floating, even though it matches downstream
      GPIO pin
- Magnetometer
    - Regardless of orientation:
        - X axis seems to always be negative
        - Y and Z axis seems to always be positive
- NFC
- Accelerometer

Tests:
=================
Light Sensor
=================
// no external light on sensor
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device2 # cat in_intensity0_raw && cat \
in_intensity1_raw
0
0

// external light shining on sensor
samsung-expressatt:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device2$ cat \
in_intensity0_raw in_intensity1_raw
915
163

=================
NFC
=================
samsung-expressatt:~$ sudo nfctool -d nfc0 -1 -p
doas (user@samsung-expressatt) password: 
nfc0:

=================
Magnetometer
=================
// no matter the orientation x is always negative and y and z are always
// positive. The values seem to be changing during rotation, but for some
// reason the magnitude is extremely large
/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device1 # cat in_magn_x_raw && cat \
in_magn_y_raw && cat in_magn_z_raw
-441672

=================
Accelerometer
=================
I believe it follows the mount matrix guide located in the kernel:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/mount-matrix.txt

// phone is vertical with charger port closest to the ground and the
// camera closest to the sky. result: +y
samsung-expressatt:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0$ cat in_accel_x_raw \
in_accel_y_raw in_accel_z_raw
4
488
-47

// phone is flat on the ground with the back of the phone closest to the
// ground and the screen closest to the sky. result: +z
samsung-expressatt:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0$ cat in_accel_x_raw \
in_accel_y_raw in_accel_z_raw
-4

// start with phone flat on the ground and the back of the phone
// closest to the ground and the screen closest to the sky. then rotate the
// phone so the charger is closest to you
// next, tilt the phone onto it's left edge. in this case, it would be
// the side with the volume buttons. result: +x
samsung-expressatt:/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0$ cat in_accel_x_raw \
in_accel_y_raw in_accel_z_raw

More Information:
=================
- Device page:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Express_SGH-I437_(samsung-expressatt)
- Downstream kernel (uses board files):
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_d2/blob/stable/cm-12.0-YNG4N/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-express.c

Note: These patches were assisted with AI (specifically Claude) as it
was easily able to translate the old board file into a DTS format that
mainline understands.

Changes in v3:
- More formatting changes
- Remove output-low on nfc_enable
- Resolved TODO mount matrix for accelerometer. My tests are above.
- Will try to eventually solve the following problems:
    - Couldn't figure out the mount matrix for magnetometer
    - Proximity is a floating value even though the downstream kernel
      matches the GPIO pin
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-expressatt_nfc_accel_magn_light-v2-0-54ce493cc6cf@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Fixed formatting issues
- Use GSBI instead of i2c-gpio
- Remove regulator-always-on
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251119-expressatt_nfc_accel_magn_light-v1-0-636f16f05cf4@gmail.com

I initially thought so... but I recently discovered monitor-sensor:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/iio-sensor-proxy


And it turns out that my testing is wrong. Will send another revision 
with the updated mount-matrix and fixing a driver nullptr bug.
