The name 'probe' (and thus 'probe group') is a relic from the times when
sigrok was mostly about logic analyzers. Nowadays we support a lot more
device types where 'probe' is not really a good term and 'channel' is
much better suited.
This fixes parts of bug #259.
The per-driver API calls no longer have a hw_ prefix (e.g. hw_init()
became init() and so on), so drop the 'hw_' from the std versions
for those API callbacks too.
This invalidates previously returned sr_dev_inst pointers, which a
frontend may be holding. It's the frontend's responsibility to clear
the list of instances a driver keeps track of by calling
sr_dev_clear(driver);
if it wants a completely new scan done.
- Explicitly list .config_get in all drivers for consistency, and set it
to NULL if unused (whether or not a driver implements it is optional).
- List all 'struct sr_dev_driver' entries in the same order in all drivers.
- Move the check whether .config_set/.config_list exist (i.e., are non-NULL)
into sanity_check_all_drivers().
This is a small helper function which sends the SR_DF_HEADER packet that
drivers usually emit in their hw_dev_acquisition_start() API callback.
It simplifies and shortens the hw_dev_acquisition_start() functions
quite a bit.
It also simplifies the input modules which send an SR_DF_HEADER packet, too.
This patch also automatically removes some unneeded malloc/free in some
drivers for the 'packet' and 'header' structs used for SR_DF_HEADER.
Check the relevant arguments for != NULL before calling the actual
driver-specific function, so that the driver can safely assume those
arguments are non-NULL. This removes the need to duplicate these
checks in every driver.
Also, do some minor whitespace and consistency improvements.
Sending an SR_DF_META packet at the start of every stream is not
mandatory; the frontend should ask for what it needs, and any extra
information the driver wants to send will come in due time.
Currently hw_info_get() can receive requests for entries (info_id) that
the specific driver doesn't support. That is (right now) a valid
use-case and not an error (might change later, though).
Thus, for now, don't output messages for such requests at all (certainly
not as sr_err() where they show up in e.g. sigrok-cli output per default).
