Preparing the st_lsm6dsrx driver to extend support to devices of the same family group. The device ID managed through the compatible string has been introduced in order to define which device to support through the device tree. At the moment only lsm6dsrx which supports MLC is available.

Introduction
This repository contains STMicroelectronics MEMS IIO drivers for Linux/Android kernels.
Source code integration
From your kernel source code directory add the git remote (i.e. stmems_iio_github) for this repository:
git remote add stmems_iio_github \
https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/st-mems-android-linux-drivers-iio.git
Fetch the just added remote:
git fetch stmems_iio_github
There are now two ways to integrate the drivers code into the kernel target branch:
- merge (suggested strategy)
- rebase
merge
Merge the stmems_iio_github/master with your target kernel source branch (i.e branch linux-5.4.y):
git merge --no-fork-point \
linux-5.4.y \
stmems_iio_github/master
rebase
Rebase the stmems_iio_github/master on top of your target kernel source branch (i.e branch linux-5.4.y):
git rebase -Xno-renames \
--no-fork-point \
linux-5.4.y \
stmems_iio_github/master
Apply patches
Now that drivers code has been added to the target kernel branch, few patches needs to be added in order to:
- add STM drivers into Kconfig & Makefile systems
- patch IIO framework with custom events with custom events, channels and devices
Apply the patches available in the just added repository (i.e branch linux-5.4.y):
git am stm_iio_patches/5.4.y/*-stm-*.patch
Configuration
A folder named stm_iio_configs should now be available with the default configs for the supported drivers.
Modify target defconfig
Sensors defconfig can be appended to the board defconfig (i.e. if your current configuration file is arch/arm/configs/stm32_defconfig):
cat stm_iio_configs/lsm6dsm_defconfig >> arch/arm/configs/stm32_defconfig
Alternatively, it can be done at build time without altering the board config file, as follow.
Merge configuration
Driver config can be merged into current target pre-configured kernel using a script available in the kernel itself:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu-
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -n .config stm_iio_configs/lsm6dsm_defconfig
