From 9dbf8ccde1b810a59b684e1d1aec7f9d2d007162 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars-Peter Clausen Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2012 10:35:00 +0100 Subject: iio: Add some helper macros for unit conversion Some datasheets use a different unit to specify the channel scale than what IIO expects it to be. This patch adds two helper macros which allow to convert units commonly used in datasheets to IIO units: * acceleration: g -> meter / second**2 * angular velocity: degree (/ second) -> rad (/ second) This makes it much more convenient to specify and also easier to verify a channel's scale attribute.
