hwmon: (lm90) Fix max6658 sporadic wrong temperature reading
max6658 may report unrealistically high temperature during the driver initialization, for which, its overtemp alarm pin also gets asserted. For certain devices implementing overtemp protection based on that pin, it may further trigger a reset to the device. By reproducing the problem, the wrong reading is found to be coincident with changing the conversion rate. To mitigate this issue, set the stop bit before changing the conversion rate and unset it thereafter. After such change, the wrong reading is not reproduced. Apply this change only to the max6657 kind for now, controlled by flag LM90_PAUSE_ON_CONFIG. Signed-off-by: Boyang Yu <byu@arista.com> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
