+===========
+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 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);
+ }
