Use resistive_adc_touch + other ADC

[sbouvet]

We would like to use the driver 'resistive_adc_touch' and other ADC inputs, but when the file '/dev/input/event0' is open all other ADC channels are locked. Who I can do to resolve my issue.
Regards

Step to reproduce:

Code: Select all

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: G
fb_ili9488             12288  0
...
spi_atmel              16384  0 [permanent]
resistive_adc_touch    12288  0

# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_voltage7_raw
16352

# cat /dev/input/event0 &

# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_voltage7_raw
cat: read error: Device or resource busy

# ps aux
PID   USER     COMMAND
    1 root     init
    2 root     [kthreadd]
...
  157 root     cat /dev/input/event0
  159 root     ps aux

# kill 157

# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/in_voltage7_raw
16352

You neglect to mention any board, SoC, or Linux kernel version.
Anyway that's how that driver is intended to operate (apparently because of a HW limitation).
From the patch submitted to the mailing list:

If it's the case, [the ADC driver] will work in touchscreen mode, and will refuse to do usual analog-digital conversion, because we have a single trigger and the touchscreen needs it.
...
If the user attempts to use another trigger while there is a buffer that already requested the touchscreen channels
(thus the trigger), the driver will refuse to comply.
