 | HW consumer | 
 | =========== | 
 | An IIO device can be directly connected to another device in hardware. in this | 
 | case the buffers between IIO provider and IIO consumer are handled by hardware. | 
 | The Industrial I/O HW consumer offers a way to bond these IIO devices without | 
 | software buffer for data. The implementation can be found under | 
 | :file:`drivers/iio/buffer/hw-consumer.c` | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 | * struct :c:type:`iio_hw_consumer` — Hardware consumer structure | 
 | * :c:func:`iio_hw_consumer_alloc` — Allocate IIO hardware consumer | 
 | * :c:func:`iio_hw_consumer_free` — Free IIO hardware consumer | 
 | * :c:func:`iio_hw_consumer_enable` — Enable IIO hardware consumer | 
 | * :c:func:`iio_hw_consumer_disable` — Disable IIO hardware consumer |

 | HW consumer setup | 
 | ================= | 
 |  | 
 | As standard IIO device the implementation is based on IIO provider/consumer. | 
 | A typical IIO HW consumer setup looks like this:: | 
 |  | 
 | 	static struct iio_hw_consumer *hwc; | 
 |  | 
 | 	static const struct iio_info adc_info = { | 
 | 		.read_raw = adc_read_raw, | 
 | 	}; | 
 |  | 
 | 	static int adc_read_raw(struct iio_dev *indio_dev, | 
 | 				struct iio_chan_spec const *chan, int *val, | 
 | 				int *val2, long mask) | 
 | 	{ | 
 | 		ret = iio_hw_consumer_enable(hwc); | 
 |  | 
 | 		/* Acquire data */ | 
 |  | 
 | 		ret = iio_hw_consumer_disable(hwc); | 
 | 	} | 
 |  | 
 | 	static int adc_probe(struct platform_device *pdev) | 
 | 	{ | 
 | 		hwc = devm_iio_hw_consumer_alloc(&iio->dev); | 
 | 	} |
