Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (pmbus) delta-ahe50dc-fan: work around hardware quirk
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2022 20:51:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220427035109.3819-1-zev@bewilderbeest.net> (raw)

CLEAR_FAULTS commands can apparently sometimes trigger catastrophic
power output glitches on the ahe-50dc, so block them from being sent
at all.
