^ OVERVIEW
Ok roughly a year into working with Zephyr RTOS we have a better idea of Zephyr's device driver model. A good point of reference to understand this model is Zephyr's device driver model documentation page.
Some important features of this device driver model include Zephyr C enumerations to support notions of sensor "channels" and sensor attributes. One such sensor attribute detailed at Zephyr doc page on symbol SENSOR_ATTR_CONFIGURATION. Along with Zephyr RTOS sensor attributes, channels and triggers, there is a sextet of generalized sensor or device API routines which Zephyr's driver model employs. These are:
- sensor_attr_set()
- sensor_attr_get()
- sensor_trigger_set()
- sensor_sample_fetch()
- sensor_sample_fetch_chan()
- sensor_sample_get()
Original overview from 2021 August, need to review links to external references and clean up:
-
Challenged by Zephyr's way of writing device drivers, capturing some notes here on a study of a Zephyr example project which talks to LIS2DH accelerometer on a Sparkfun Thing Plus board. As of 2021-08-27 Friday, couple of important features Ted notes are that Zephyr Project's sample drivers for sensors are like or are actually small <i>Zephyr applications (track down definition of this), which need to be studied along side corresponding Zephyr driver sources. One design pattern Ted observes from an out-of-tree driver for Sensirion SHTC3 sensor is that all driver functions are declared private, making them directly callable only within the given source file. These routines appear to be accessed via a structure whose member elements are pointers to these static functions. Note lines 306..309 in AQW driver source shtc3.c.
This coding pattern of declaring all driver functions static may relate to a larger design practice in Zephyr RTOS, where all major memory uses are declared and known at compile time.

^ Early Research and SDK UsedA couple of Zephyr driver tutorials and posts worth noting. Casting net wider for Zephyr device driver "How To" articles, find Jared Wolff's blog post: Here is a link to a tutorial, part three of a series, which may be helpful: What does zephyr_include_directories() perform? . . .

^ Middle Research - Zephyr In-Tree DriversThere appears to be a Zephyr in-tree driver for STMicro's IIS2DH accelerometer. Not much on-line regarding how to make use of in-tree drivers, but a search of Zephyr's source tree shows these driver files: ~/embedded/z3-on-var/zephyr$ find . -name '*iis2dh*.*' ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh.c ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh_spi.c ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh.h ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh_i2c.c ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh_trigger.c ./dts/bindings/sensor/st,iis2dh-spi.yaml ./dts/bindings/sensor/st,iis2dh-i2c.yaml ~/embedded/z3-on-var/zephyr$ A register header file for this sensor however is located in another place: ~/embedded/z3-on-var$ find . -name iis2dh_reg.h ./modules/hal/st/sensor/stmemsc/iis2dh_STdC/driver/iis2dh_reg.h ~/embedded/z3-on-var/zephyr$ Only mid-level driver files appear to call IIS2DH initialization routines which are bus specific: ~/embedded/z3-on-var/zephyr$ grep -nr iis2dh_i2c_init ./* ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh.c:245: iis2dh_i2c_init(dev); ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh.h:85:int iis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev); ./drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh_i2c.c:44:int iis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev) ~/embedded/z3-on-var/zephyr$ Source file `iis2dh.c` appears to be a middle level driver, so which sample applications call routines in this file?

Looking at `~/embedded/z3-on-var/zephyr/samples/sensor/lis2dh/src/main.c` it looks like just a few pound includes at the top of the file are sufficient to bring in the needed driver. Likely brings in all in-tree drivers: code excerpt from lis2dh main.c:

^ west utility basics
As of 2021-08-27 contributor Ted knows a bit more about the Python based west utility. Ted has a Zephyr based project which does not yet build but has a working west manifest file. When working with Zephyr based applications which employ west a best practice in most cases is to clone given project into a directory of its own. When running `west init` and `west update`, from these actions `west` will populate the parent directory of the `west manifest` file which it reads to download and update given Zephyr app dependencies.
This is an unusual behavior in that most firmware based project tools do not by default copy third party sources and libraries to the parent directory of the root dir of the given project.
Another behavior to note: `west` detaches third party git repos from their 'head' commit points. This means a developer making local changes to any git based Zephyr app dependency must use `git` to checkout a commit that's tracked at the remote repository. Developers may not have access to all remote code repos, but where they have access they may want to make local edits in the repo copies created by `west`, so there's a git branch check out step needed here following any `west update` invocations.
^ Zephyr sensor_driver_api
Zephyr's notion of sensor drivers has some strict, well-defined ways guiding how developers write driver code for new sensors. The lowest level driver sources for a particular sensor appear to follow a design pattern in which all driver functions are declared static. There can be many such functions, but Zephyr exposes only the following five in its header file zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/include/drivers/sensor.h:
374 __subsystem struct sensor_driver_api {
375 sensor_attr_set_t attr_set;
376 sensor_attr_get_t attr_get;
377 sensor_trigger_set_t trigger_set;
378 sensor_sample_fetch_t sample_fetch;
379 sensor_channel_get_t channel_get;
380 };
This structure's members actually express function pointers. A code excerpt again from Jared Wolff's shtc3.c driver source file illustrates how these function pointers are assigned to functions for a specific sensor:
static const struct sensor_driver_api shtc3_api = {
.attr_set = &shtc3_attr_set,
.attr_get = &shtc3_attr_get,
.sample_fetch = &shtc3_sample_fetch,
.channel_get = &shtc3_channel_get,
};
To reiterate, Zephyr's sensor driver API is defined in the Zephyr Project sensor.h header file. In developer code where an instance of sensor_driver_api is assigned values, each of those values points to a static function in the given driver source file. In the language of C, pointers are integers such that the following type definition defines (*sensor_attr_set_t) as a pointer to a function with four parameters as they appear in this sensor.h excerpt:
325 /** 326 * @typedef sensor_attr_set_t 327 * @brief Callback API upon setting a sensor's attributes 328 * 329 * See sensor_attr_set() for argument description 330 */ 331 typedef int (*sensor_attr_set_t)(const struct device *dev, 332 enum sensor_channel chan, 333 enum sensor_attribute attr, 334 const struct sensor_value *val);
The remaining four sensor driver API struct members are defined in similar ways in Zephyr's sensor.h header file. This makes more sense now looking at the definition of struct device. Here is an excerpt from Zephyr project drivers documentation:
-
Driver Data Structures
The device initialization macros populate some data structures at build time which are split into read-only and runtime-mutable parts. At a high level we have:
struct device {
const char *name;
const void *config;
const void *api;
void * const data;
};
TO REVIEW: Following material posted on about 2021-08-15, can be refined and some likely removed - TMH
Excerpt from file ~/ncs/zephyr/include/drivers/sensor.h:
382 /**
383 * @brief Set an attribute for a sensor
384 *
385 * @param dev Pointer to the sensor device
386 * @param chan The channel the attribute belongs to, if any. Some
387 * attributes may only be set for all channels of a device, depending on
388 * device capabilities.
389 * @param attr The attribute to set
390 * @param val The value to set the attribute to
391 *
392 * @return 0 if successful, negative errno code if failure.
393 */
394 __syscall int sensor_attr_set(const struct device *dev,
395 enum sensor_channel chan,
396 enum sensor_attribute attr,
397 const struct sensor_value *val);
398
399 static inline int z_impl_sensor_attr_set(const struct device *dev,
400 enum sensor_channel chan,
401 enum sensor_attribute attr,
402 const struct sensor_value *val)
403 {
404 const struct sensor_driver_api *api =
405 (const struct sensor_driver_api *)dev->api;
406
407 if (api->attr_set == NULL) {
408 return -ENOSYS;
409 }
410
411 return api->attr_set(dev, chan, attr, val);
412 }
413
From these two code excerpts the big question is, how is dev->api assigned in early configuring code for an I2C based sensor?
./include/drivers/sensor.h:61: SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_XYZ, . . . hmm, this is part of a large enumeration:
53 enum sensor_channel {
54 /** Acceleration on the X axis, in m/s^2. */
55 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_X,
56 /** Acceleration on the Y axis, in m/s^2. */
57 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_Y,
58 /** Acceleration on the Z axis, in m/s^2. */
59 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_Z,
60 /** Acceleration on the X, Y and Z axes. */
61 SENSOR_CHAN_ACCEL_XYZ,
62 /** Angular velocity around the X axis, in radians/s. */
63 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_X,
64 /** Angular velocity around the Y axis, in radians/s. */
65 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_Y,
66 /** Angular velocity around the Z axis, in radians/s. */
67 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_Z,
68 /** Angular velocity around the X, Y and Z axes. */
69 SENSOR_CHAN_GYRO_XYZ,
.

^ LIS2DH driver files
Beginning with lis2dh_i2c.c, here we examine where Zephyr driver files for this accelerometer are located in Zephyr's source file project space. We'll also look at how routines and pound defines are factored across these files. Beginning with lis2dh_i2c.c file and its final twenty or so lines, we have a specific sensor API routine, a structure which entails function pointers to all the LIS2DH driver routines in this source file, and finally an initializing function for this driver:
static int lis2dh_i2c_update_reg(const struct device *dev, uint8_t reg_addr,
uint8_t mask, uint8_t value)
{
struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data;
const struct lis2dh_config *cfg = dev->config;
return i2c_reg_update_byte(data->bus,
cfg->bus_cfg.i2c_slv_addr,
reg_addr, mask, value);
}
static const struct lis2dh_transfer_function lis2dh_i2c_transfer_fn = {
.read_data = lis2dh_i2c_read_data,
.write_data = lis2dh_i2c_write_data,
.read_reg = lis2dh_i2c_read_reg,
.write_reg = lis2dh_i2c_write_reg,
.update_reg = lis2dh_i2c_update_reg,
};
int lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev)
{
struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data;
data->hw_tf = &lis2dh_i2c_transfer_fn;
return 0;
}
#endif /* DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) */
We also can see the closing pre-processor conditional directive, which pairs with a test at compile time which only compiles this driver API when at least one instance of the sensor is indicated in developer code:
#if DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c)
LOG_MODULE_DECLARE(lis2dh, CONFIG_SENSOR_LOG_LEVEL);
static int lis2dh_i2c_read_data(const struct device *dev, uint8_t reg_addr,
uint8_t *value, uint8_t len)
{
struct lis2dh_data *data = dev->data;
const struct lis2dh_config *cfg = dev->config;
.
.
.
#endif /* DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY(i2c) */
Ok, so already a fair amount going on here. An important point to note and remember is that routines in lis2dh_i2c.c manifest direct calls to Zephyr RTOS's I2C driver. Most likely this is the only file where, following best factoring practices, we will see and want to make direct calls to this peripheral subsystem.
Along side the calls to an I2C driver there is also a LIS2DH initialization function, lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev). This initializer takes a pointer to a Zephyr device struct instance, and it assigns a value to *dev->data->hw_tf. We may be mistaken but hw_tf probably stands for in this case "hardware transfer function" given the name of the collection of sensor API function pointers just above this assignment.
This LIS2DH Zephyr init function begins our "chain of search", to learn how developers' or app level code interfaces with Zephyr driver code.
^ Chain Of Search
Our search begins with looking for places where lis2dh_i2c_init(const struct device *dev) is called or referenced by run-time code. This token is the name of the initializing routine called when Zephyr RTOS discovers one or more LIS2DH sensors connected (cofigured to use) an I2C bus. This routine is referenced only one place, in file lis2dh.c where it is assigned to a member of a C structure which is defined via a macro. This macro's name is IS2DH_CONFIG_I2C, and this name constitutes our next search step. Search steps are captured in the table below titled "Table x - Zephyr Driver Chain of Search".

From Zephyr documentation ncs/zephyr/doc/reference/devicetree/api.rst:
185 As shown above, the ``DT_INST_*`` APIs are conveniences for addressing nodes by 186 instance number. They are almost all defined in terms of one of the 187 :ref:`devicetree-generic-apis`. The equivalent generic API can be found by 188 removing ``INST_`` from the macro name. For example, ``DT_INST_PROP(inst, 189 prop)`` is equivalent to ``DT_PROP(DT_DRV_INST(inst), prop)``. Similarly, 190 ``DT_INST_REG_ADDR(inst)`` is equivalent to ``DT_REG_ADDR(DT_DRV_INST(inst))``, 191 and so on. There are some exceptions: :c:func:`DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY` 192 and :c:func:`DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY` are special-purpose helpers without 193 straightforward generic equivalents. 194 195 Since ``DT_DRV_INST()`` requires ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to be defined, it's an error 196 to use any of these without that macro defined.
^ Tracing from LIS2DH Sample Source Code
This line of code in the LIS2DH sample project appears to instantiate the code to support a present LIS2DH sensor. The macro DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY is defined in <$NCS_ROOT>/zephyr/include/device.h.
51 void main(void)
52 {
53 const struct device *sensor = DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY(st_lis2dh);
Here is the definition of the macro, which looks itself to include the one that seemed to "dead end" in our search a couple sections above:
282 /** 283 * @def DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY 284 * 285 * @brief Obtain a pointer to a device object by devicetree compatible 286 * 287 * If any enabled devicetree node has the given compatible and a 288 * device object was created from it, this returns that device. 289 * 290 * If there no such devices, this returns NULL. 291 * 292 * If there are multiple, this returns an arbitrary one. 293 * 294 * If this returns non-NULL, the device must be checked for readiness 295 * before use, e.g. with device_is_ready(). 296 * 297 * @param compat lowercase-and-underscores devicetree compatible 298 * @return a pointer to a device, or NULL 299 */ 300 #define DEVICE_DT_GET_ANY(compat) \ 301 COND_CODE_1(DT_HAS_COMPAT_STATUS_OKAY(compat), \ 302 (DEVICE_DT_GET(DT_COMPAT_GET_ANY_STATUS_OKAY(compat))), \ 303 (NULL))
From file ncs/zephyr/doc/guides/dts/howtos.rst:
417 .. _dt-create-devices-inst:
418
419 Option 1: create devices using instance numbers
420 ===============================================
421
422 Use this option, which uses :ref:`devicetree-inst-apis`, if possible. However,
423 they only work when devicetree nodes for your driver's ``compatible`` are all
424 equivalent, and you do not need to be able to distinguish between them.
425
426 To use instance-based APIs, begin by defining ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to the
427 lowercase-and-underscores version of the compatible that the device driver
428 supports. For example, if your driver's compatible is ``"vnd,my-device"`` in
429 devicetree, you would define ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` to ``vnd_my_device`` in your
430 driver C file:
431
432 .. code-block:: c
433
434 /*
435 * Put this near the top of the file. After the includes is a good place.
436 * (Note that you can therefore run "git grep DT_DRV_COMPAT drivers" in
437 * the zephyr Git repository to look for example drivers using this style).
438 */
439 #define DT_DRV_COMPAT vnd_my_device
440
441 .. important::
442
443 As shown, the DT_DRV_COMPAT macro should have neither quotes nor special
444 characters. Remove quotes and convert special characters to underscores
445 when creating ``DT_DRV_COMPAT`` from the compatible property.
446
447 Finally, define an instantiation macro, which creates each ``struct device``
448 using instance numbers. Do this after defining ``my_api_funcs``.
449
450 .. code-block:: c
451
452 /*
453 * This instantiation macro is named "CREATE_MY_DEVICE".
454 * Its "inst" argument is an arbitrary instance number.
455 *
456 * Put this near the end of the file, e.g. after defining "my_api_funcs".
457 */
458 #define CREATE_MY_DEVICE(inst) \
459 static struct my_dev_data my_data_##inst = { \
460 /* initialize RAM values as needed, e.g.: */ \
461 .freq = DT_INST_PROP(inst, clock_frequency), \
462 }; \
463 static const struct my_dev_cfg my_cfg_##inst = { \
464 /* initialize ROM values as needed. */ \
465 }; \
466 DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE(inst, \
467 my_dev_init_function, \
468 NULL, \
469 &my_data_##inst, \
470 &my_cfg_##inst, \
471 MY_DEV_INIT_LEVEL, MY_DEV_INIT_PRIORITY, \
472 &my_api_funcs);
473
474 Notice the use of APIs like :c:func:`DT_INST_PROP` and
475 :c:func:`DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE` to access devicetree node data. These
476 APIs retrieve data from the devicetree for instance number ``inst`` of
477 the node with compatible determined by ``DT_DRV_COMPAT``.
478
479 Finally, pass the instantiation macro to :c:func:`DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY`:
480
481 .. code-block:: c
482
483 /* Call the device creation macro for each instance: */
484 DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY(CREATE_MY_DEVICE)
485
486 ``DT_INST_FOREACH_STATUS_OKAY`` expands to code which calls
487 ``CREATE_MY_DEVICE`` once for each enabled node with the compatible determined
488 by ``DT_DRV_COMPAT``. It does not append a semicolon to the end of the
489 expansion of ``CREATE_MY_DEVICE``, so the macro's expansion must end in a
490 semicolon or function definition to support multiple devices.

^ Jared Wolff Example Zephyr Driver repo
Proprietor and lead engineer of Circuitdojo, Jared Wolff has a custom Zephyr device driver underway at Github:
This driver's directory structure as of 2021-08-16 looks like:

Jared has also shared an AQW driver demo] code project on Github. The demo has a top level Kconfig file whose active stanzas number one, and point to 'Kconfig.zephyr'. This Kconfig file is found in the given Zephyr project source tree, at its top level. There is a lot of information in Kconfig.zephyr in the form of comments. But question now, following Kionix work patch file from Nordic team member Sigurd is, how to inform cmake with include paths, such that a Zephyr app main.c file can include an out-of-tree driver header file?
^ Jared Wolff AQW demo
CircuitDojo proprietor and lead engineer Jared Wolff describes writing an out-of-tree driver, and a separate Zephyr based app, the AQW demo. In 2021-08-19 community form post thread, reply 16 of 22 Jared mentions both "app separate from [out of tree] driver" and "app with driver files contained therein". Only a brief mention. Jared's AQW demo app appears to be separate. Here is the `tree` dump of dirs and files for this demo:
ted@localhost:~/projects/embedded/ncs/zephyr/samples/sandbox-de-ted/jared-wolff/demo$ tree -R . ├── boards │ ├── nrf52840dk_nrf52840.conf │ └── nrf52840dk_nrf52840.overlay ├── build │ ├── CMakeCache.txt │ ├── CMakeFiles │ │ └── cmake.check_cache │ ├── Kconfig │ │ └── Kconfig.modules │ ├── zephyrhttps://community.jaredwolff.com/d/147-undefined-driver-enable-symbols-when-adding-local-driver-and-kconfig/17 │ │ └── include │ │ └── generated │ │ ├── snippets-noinit.ld │ │ ├── snippets-ram-sections.ld │ │ ├── snippets-rodata.ld │ │ ├── snippets-rom-start.ld │ │ ├── snippets-rwdata.ld │ │ └── snippets-sections.ld │ ├── zephyr_modules.txt │ └── zephyr_settings.txt ├── CMakeLists.txt ├── Kconfig ├── prj.conf ├── prj.debug.conf ├── prj.release.conf ├── README.md ├── src │ └── main.c ├── west.yml └── z--build-messages-001--first-build.txt 8 directories, 22 files ted@localhost:~/projects/embedded/ncs/zephyr/samples/sandbox-de-ted/jared-wolff/demo$ find . -name Kconfig ./build/Kconfig ./Kconfig
Also searched for instances of Kconfig, of which there are several in the out-of-tree driver dirs and files, but only one of interest in the demo. We can disregard './build/Kconfig' in the tail end of the above shell excerpt because cmake and or Zephyr build process creates this directory named 'build', in the file system directory where the build command is issued.
An excerpt of Jared's most telling reply to date is here:

Here’s the file structure from the Air Quality Wing drivers repository. The most critical files are module.yml and top level CMakeLists.txt and Kconfig. . . .

If you have zephyr/module.yml configured properly ./CMakeLists.txt should be processed first before your application. This is critical for loading drivers correctly. I can’t stress enough looking at some of these repos to see how they’re formatted. It takes a bit of noodling but once you get it you’ll be on your way.
^ Zephyr Driver versus Zephyr Module
Interesting call for help from one Thomas Oggiers and responses from one Simon and another person and collaborator tejlmand:
^ Zephyr Files To Amend For In-Tree Driver
2021-08-30 Monday note: Several days ago Ted unsure whether an "out of tree" driver development approach would take more time or less time compared with "in Zephyr tree" driver approach. Hence this wiki page section. Ted ended up solving out-of-tree project layout issues and is actively working on a Zephyr driver out-of-tree for Kionix KX132-1211 sensor.
Starting review of Zephyr driver files ~/projects/embedded/ncs/zephyr/drivers/sensor, file Kconfig is about 215 lines long and appears to source (has stanzas beginning with 'source') for each extent driver. First few drivers sourced in this Kconfig file are:
39 comment "Device Drivers" 40 41 source "drivers/sensor/adt7420/Kconfig" 42 43 source "drivers/sensor/adxl345/Kconfig" 44 45 source "drivers/sensor/adxl362/Kconfig" 46 47 source "drivers/sensor/adxl372/Kconfig" 48 49 source "drivers/sensor/ak8975/Kconfig" 50 51 source "drivers/sensor/amg88xx/Kconfig" 52 53 source "drivers/sensor/ams_iAQcore/Kconfig"
Similarly so for the CMakeLists.txt file here.
May be important to specify, for a Zephyr application, a device tree root. Zephyr documentation regarding development has a section on this which Ted copies an excerpt here:
Devicetree Definitions
Devicetree directory trees are found in APPLICATION_SOURCE_DIR, BOARD_DIR, and ZEPHYR_BASE, but additional trees, or DTS_ROOTs, can be added by creating this directory tree:
include/
dts/common/
dts/arm/
dts/
dts/bindings/
Where ‘arm’ is changed to the appropriate architecture. Each directory is optional. The binding directory contains bindings and the other directories contain files that can be included from DT sources.
Once the directory structure is in place, you can use it by specifying its location through the DTS_ROOT CMake Cache variable:
Using west:
west build -b <board name> -- -DDTS_ROOT=<path to dts root>
Using CMake and ninja:
cmake -B build -GNinja -DBOARD=<board name> -DDTS_ROOT=<path to dts root> .
ninja -C build
You can also define the variable in the application CMakeLists.txt file. Make sure to do so before pulling in the Zephyr boilerplate with find_package(Zephyr ...).
Note
When specifying DTS_ROOT in a CMakeLists.txt, then an absolute path must be provided, for example list(APPEND DTS_ROOT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/<extra-dts-root>. When using -DDTS_ROOT=<dts-root> both absolute and relative paths can be used. Relative paths are treated relatively to the application directory.

^ Search For Board Specific Zephyr Driver
2022-08-08 Monday - search for Zephyr WS2812 GPIO control based driver. Search excerpt:

Also worth noting is the Zephyr RTOS header file `~/projects-sandbox/workspace-for-rpi/zephyr$ vi ./include/zephyr/drivers/led_strip.h`, which reminds us of the decoupling of Zephyr RTOS from out-of-tree driver details, and decoupling from specific driver implementations.
In file `ws2812_gpio.c` here are telling comments and calls to nrf_ API functions, functions which may be peculiar to Nordic's nRF51 family of parts. There are also the mentioned in-line assembly instructions which are based on this source file's targeting of an ARM Cortex-M0 running at 16MHz. We may be able to adapt this file and use it on the RPI2040 with appropriate configuration of this other processor's higher speed clock, plus adjustments to the in-line assembly. ( That in-line assembly code is just a series of NOP instructions, three different counts of NOP series for specific WS2812 timing requirements. )
^ IIS2DH driver in Zephyr 3.2.0

In our search for how `dev` is defined, above routine is called in same source file from routine:

return -EINVAL;
}
/* check chip ID */
if (iis2dh_device_id_get(iis2dh->ctx, &wai) < 0) {
return -EIO;
}
.
.
.
And in Zephyr 3.2.0 source tree routine `iis2dh_init()` is called from or referenced at the following places:
ted@localhost1:~/projects-sandbox/workspace-for-nexus$ grep -nr 'iis2dh_init' ./* ./zephyr/drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh.c:253:static int iis2dh_init(const struct device *dev) ./zephyr/drivers/sensor/iis2dh/iis2dh.c:321: DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE(inst, iis2dh_init, NULL, \
And near top of iis2dh.h the structure definition for 'iis2dh_device_config' appears:
/**

* @spi: SPI bus spec.
* @i2c: I2C bus spec.

#endif /* CONFIG_IIS2DH_TRIGGER */
};
QUESTION: is the macro DT_ANY_INST_ON_BUS_STATUS_OKAY not returning any ok I2C bus instances in our app build process?
ANSWER: in our application build as of 2022-10-24 this macro evaluates to false, which is strange! We have posted to Circuit Dojo forum, at
On Zephyr's I2C in-tree driver side, the low level routine to perform an I2C "write read" transaction is in file `/zephyr/include/zephyr/drivers/i2c.h`. Here is an excerpt, which begins around line 991:

^ IIS2DH header file diagnostic additions
Following excerpt shows build time diagnostic statements added to STMicro driver file `iis2dh.h`, as found in Zephyr RTOS 3.2.0:
/**
* struct iis2dh_device_config - iis2dh hw configuration
* @spi: SPI bus spec.
* @i2c: I2C bus spec.
* @pm: Power mode (lis2dh_powermode).
* @int_gpio: GPIO spec for sensor pin interrupt.
*/

#warning "- DEV 1028 - Zephyr build tools find SPI device instance on SPI bus with 'okay' status."
struct spi_dt_spec spi;
#else
#warning "- DEV 1028 - Zephyr build tools find no device instance 'okay' on SPI bus!"

^ Useful File Manipulations and Pattern Searches
Looking for differences between Zephyr Project instances of i2c.h:
for file in `find . -name i2c.h`; do md5sum ${file}; ls -l ${file}; done
