No need to repeat the same comments on 3 different places. Instead add a
single comment to explain how start_measurements() and read_raw() are
related.
Don't use a state machine in AK8963: the start_measurements() method
should be called only once. Even if there's a magnetic sensor overflow
the only thing we should do is to discard the new data.
This also moves the _collect_samples() method to be inside _update()
since it's the only place it should be called from, the one running on
the timer thread.
We need to check the AK8963's id before anything else Here we are
reordering the calls to _calibrate() and _check_id(). After that we
don't need to read and write again the AK8963_CNTL1 register.
While at it do some renames as well:
- _configure() -> _setup_mode(): since now there's a
_bus->configure() it became confusing what actually it's
doing.
- make error messages say what we were actually trying to do but
couldn't. Also remove PSTR since this is linux-only.
- start_conversion() -> start_measurements(): We are instructing the
bus to start to get the samples, not to tell the chip to start an
analog->digital conversion like in other sensors.
The MPUREG_PWR_MGMT_1 defines were used when we cared about the MPU9250
initialization code. Now all initialization is done by the MPU9250 class
itself, so remove these defines.
Also remove AK8983_SELFTEST_MAGNETIC_FIELD_ON that is never used and let
the defines always with 2 bytes to improve readability.
Similar code was added in the read_raw() implementation for each bus.
Add a new POD struct read_raw to contain the registers from the AK8963
and use it instead as argument.
_copy_to_frontend function takes care of abstracting
this code from the driver. For now the function takes
care of the offset and rotation that is common.
