* Interaction with suspend mode
*
* Unless otherwise noted, an enabled sensor shall not prevent the
* SoC to go into suspend mode. It is the responsibility of applications
* to keep a partial wake-lock should they wish to receive sensor
* events while the screen is off. While in suspend mode, and unless
* otherwise noted (batch mode, sensor particularities, ...), enabled sensors'
* events are lost.
*
* Note that conceptually, the sensor itself is not de-activated while in
* suspend mode -- it's just that the data it returns are lost. As soon as
* the SoC gets out of suspend mode, operations resume as usual. Of course,
* in practice sensors shall be disabled while in suspend mode to
* save power, unless batch mode is active, in which case they must
* continue fill their internal FIFO (see the documentation of batch() to
* learn how suspend interacts with batch mode).
*
* In batch mode, and only when the flag SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is
* set and supported, the specified sensor must be able to wake-up the SoC and
* be able to buffer at least 10 seconds worth of the requested sensor events.
*
* There are notable exceptions to this behavior, which are sensor-dependent
* (see sensor types definitions below)
*
*
* The sensor type documentation below specifies the wake-up behavior of
* each sensor:
* wake-up: yes this sensor must wake-up the SoC to deliver events
* wake-up: no this sensor shall not wake-up the SoC, events are dropped

* Sensor fusion and virtual sensors

* Many sensor types are or can be implemented as virtual sensors from

* orientation sensor, step-detector, step-counter, etc...
*
* From the point of view of this API these virtual sensors MUST appear as
* real, individual sensors. It is the responsibility of the driver and HAL
* to make sure this is the case.

* In particular, all sensors must be able to function concurrently.

/*
* Trigger modes
*
* Sensors can report events in different ways called trigger modes,
* each sensor type has one and only one trigger mode associated to it.
* Currently there are four trigger modes defined:
*
* continuous: events are reported at a constant rate defined by setDelay().
* eg: accelerometers, gyroscopes.
* on-change: events are reported only if the sensor's value has changed.
* setDelay() is used to set a lower limit to the reporting
* period (minimum time between two events).
* The HAL must return an event immediately when an on-change
* sensor is activated.
* eg: proximity, light sensors
* one-shot: upon detection of an event, the sensor deactivates itself and
* then sends a single event. Order matters to avoid race
* conditions. No other event is sent until the sensor get
* reactivated. setDelay() is ignored.
* eg: significant motion sensor
* special: see details in the sensor type specification below

*
* The rotation vector symbolizes the orientation of the device relative to the

*
* The East-North-Up coordinate system is defined as a direct orthonormal basis
* where:
* - X points east and is tangential to the ground.
* - Y points north and is tangential to the ground.
* - Z points towards the sky and is perpendicular to the ground.

* align the East-North-Up coordinates with the phone's coordinates. That is,
* applying the rotation to the world frame (X,Y,Z) would align them with the
* phone coordinates (x,y,z).
*
* The rotation can be seen as rotating the phone by an angle theta around
* an axis rot_axis to go from the reference (East-North-Up aligned) device
* orientation to the current device orientation.
*
* The rotation is encoded as the 4 (reordered) components of a unit quaternion:
* sensors_event_t.data[0] = rot_axis.x*sin(theta/2)
* sensors_event_t.data[1] = rot_axis.y*sin(theta/2)

* representing the rotation axis
* - theta is the rotation angle

*
* The period_ns parameter is equivalent to calling setDelay() -- this
* function both enables or disables the batch mode AND sets the events's
* period in nanosecond. See setDelay() above for a detailed explanation of
* the period_ns parameter.
*
* BATCH MODE:
* -----------
* In non-batch mode, all sensor events must be reported as soon as they
* are detected. For example, an accelerometer activated at 50Hz will
* trigger interrupts 50 times per second.
* While in batch mode, sensor events do not need to be reported as soon
* as they are detected. They can be temporarily stored in batches and
* reported in batches, as long as no event is delayed by more than
* "timeout" nanoseconds. That is, all events since the previous batch
* are recorded and returned all at once. This allows to reduce the amount
* of interrupts sent to the SoC, and allow the SoC to switch to a lower
* power state (Idle) while the sensor is capturing and batching data.
*
* setDelay() is not affected and it behaves as usual.
*
* Each event has a timestamp associated with it, the timestamp
* must be accurate and correspond to the time at which the event
* physically happened.
*
* Batching does not modify the behavior of poll(): batches from different
* sensors can be interleaved and split. As usual, all events from the same
* sensor are time-ordered.
*
* BEHAVIOUR OUTSIDE OF SUSPEND MODE:
* ----------------------------------
*
* When the SoC is awake (not in suspend mode), events must be reported in
* batches at least every "timeout". No event shall be dropped or lost.
* If internal h/w FIFOs fill-up before the timeout, then events are
* reported at that point to ensure no event is lost.
*
*
* NORMAL BEHAVIOR IN SUSPEND MODE:
* ---------------------------------
*
* By default, batch mode doesn't significantly change the interaction with
* suspend mode. That is, sensors must continue to allow the SoC to
* go into suspend mode and sensors must stay active to fill their
* internal FIFO. In this mode, when the FIFO fills up, it shall wrap
* around (basically behave like a circular buffer, overwriting events).
* As soon as the SoC comes out of suspend mode, a batch is produced with
* as much as the recent history as possible, and batch operation
* resumes as usual.
*
* The behavior described above allows applications to record the recent
* history of a set of sensor while keeping the SoC into suspend. It
* also allows the hardware to not have to rely on a wake-up interrupt line.
*
* WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL BEHAVIOR IN SUSPEND MODE:
* ----------------------------------------------
*
* There are cases, however, where an application cannot afford to lose
* any events, even when the device goes into suspend mode.
* For a given rate, if a sensor has the capability to store at least 10
* seconds worth of events in its FIFO and is able to wake up the Soc, it
* can implement an optional secondary mode: the WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL mode.
*
* The caller will set the SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL flag to
* activate this mode. If the sensor does not support this mode, batch()
* will fail when the flag is set.
*
* When running with the WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL flag set, no events can be
* lost. When the FIFO is getting full, the sensor must wake up the SoC from
* suspend and return a batch before the FIFO fills-up.
* Depending on the device, it might take a few miliseconds for the SoC to
* entirely come out of suspend and start flushing the FIFO. Enough head
* room must be allocated in the FIFO to allow the device to entirely come
* out of suspend without the FIFO overflowing (no events shall be lost).
*
* Implementing the WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL mode is optional.
* If the hardware cannot support this mode, or if the physical
* FIFO is so small that the device would never be allowed to go into
* suspend for at least 10 seconds, then this function MUST fail when
* the flag SENSORS_BATCH_WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is set, regardless of
* the value of the timeout parameter.
*
*
* DRY RUN:
* --------
*
* If the flag SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is set, this function returns
* without modifying the batch mode or the event period and has no side
* effects, but returns errors as usual (as it would if this flag was
* not set). This flag is used to check if batch mode is available for a
* given configuration -- in particular for a given sensor at a given rate.
*
*
* Return values:
* --------------
*
* Because sensors must be independent, the return value must not depend
* on the state of the system (whether another sensor is on or not),
* nor on whether the flag SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is set (in other words,
* if a batch call with SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN is successful,
* the same call without SENSORS_BATCH_DRY_RUN must succeed as well).
*
* When timeout is not 0:
* If successful, 0 is returned.
* If the specified sensor doesn't support batch mode, return -EINVAL.
* If the specified sensor's trigger-mode is one-shot, return -EINVAL.
* If WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is specified and the specified sensor's internal
* FIFO is too small to store at least 10 seconds worth of data at the
* given rate, -EINVAL is returned. Note that as stated above, this has to
* be determined at compile time, and not based on the state of the
* system.
* If some other constraints above cannot be satisfied, return -EINVAL.
*
* Note: the timeout parameter, when > 0, has no impact on whether this
* function succeeds or fails.
*
* When timeout is 0:
* The caller will never set the wake_upon_fifo_full flag.
* The function must succeed, and batch mode must be deactivated.
*
* Independently of whether DRY_RUN is specified, When the call to batch()
* fails, no state should be changed. In particular, a failed call to
* batch() should not change the rate of the sensor. Example:
* setDelay(..., 10ms)
* batch(..., 20ms, ...) fails
* rate should stay 10ms.
*
*
* IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
* ---------------------
*
* Batch mode, if supported, should happen at the hardware level,
* typically using hardware FIFOs. In particular, it SHALL NOT be
* implemented in the HAL, as this would be counter productive.
* The goal here is to save significant amounts of power.
*
* In some implementations, events from several sensors can share the
* same physical FIFO. In that case, all events in the FIFO can be sent and
* processed by the HAL as soon as one batch must be reported.
* For example, if the following sensors are activated:
* - accelerometer batched with timeout = 20s
* - gyroscope batched with timeout = 5s
* then the accelerometer batches can be reported at the same time the
* gyroscope batches are reported (every 5 seconds)
*
* Batch mode can be enabled or disabled at any time, in particular
* while the specified sensor is already enabled, and this shall not
* result in the loss of events.
*
* COMPARATIVE IMPORTANCE OF BATCHING FOR DIFFERENT SENSORS:
* ---------------------------------------------------------
*
* On platforms on which hardware fifo size is limited, the system designers
* might have to choose how much fifo to reserve for each sensor. To help
* with this choice, here is a list of applications made possible when
* batching is implemented on the different sensors.
*
* High value: Low power pedestrian dead reckoning
* Target batching time: 20 seconds to 1 minute
* Sensors to batch:
* - Step detector
* - Rotation vector or game rotation vector at 5Hz
* Gives us step and heading while letting the SoC go to Suspend.
*
* High value: Medium power activity/gesture recognition
* Target batching time: 3 seconds
* Sensors to batch: accelerometer between 20Hz and 50Hz
* Allows recognizing arbitrary activities and gestures without having
* to keep the SoC fully awake while the data is collected.
*
* Medium-high value: Interrupt load reduction
* Target batching time: < 1 second
* Sensors to batch: any high frequency sensor.
* If the gyroscope is set at 800Hz, even batching just 10 gyro events can
* reduce the number of interrupts from 800/second to 80/second.
*
* Medium value: Continuous low frequency data collection
* Target batching time: > 1 minute
* Sensors to batch: barometer, humidity sensor, other low frequency
* sensors.
* Allows creating monitoring applications at low power.
*
* Medium value: Continuous full-sensors collection
* Target batching time: > 1 minute
* Sensors to batch: all, at high frequencies
* Allows full collection of sensor data while leaving the SoC in
* suspend mode. Only to consider if fifo space is not an issue.
*
* In each of the cases above, if WAKE_UPON_FIFO_FULL is implemented, the
* applications might decide to let the SoC go to suspend, allowing for even
* more power savings.
