[PATCH] iio: adc: max9611: Fix temperature reading in probe

[Jacopo Mondi]

The max9611 driver reads the die temperature at probe time to validate
the communication channel. Use the actual read value to perform the test
instead of the read function return value, which was mistakenly used so
far.

The temperature reading test was only successful because the 0 return
value is in the range of supported temperatures.

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git and marked for
stable.  That'll be a bit fiddly given other changes around this
so we may need to do backports.

Indeed, I should have mentioned this patch depends on Joe's
ae8cc91a7d85 ("iio: adc: max9611: Fix misuse of GENMASK macro")
which is now in linux-next, otherwise it might atually trigger errors
due to the wrong mask value.

I wonder if there's a way to keep track of these dependencies for the
sake of backporting, or it's an operation that has to be carried out
manually...

Thanks

A note in the commit message is normally enough as all the stable
maintainers check that first.  In this particular case both patches
are marked for stable so will get picked up automatically in the right
order (hopefully!).

This is now commit b9ddd5091160793e ("iio: adc: max9611: Fix temperature
reading in probe") in v5.3-rc5, and has been backported to 4.14, 4.19,
and 5.2.

While this did fix a bug, it also introduced a regression: on Salvator-XS,
which has two max9611 instances, I now see intermittent failures

    max9611 4-007c: Invalid value received from ADC 0x8000: aborting
    max9611: probe of 4-007c failed with error -5

and/or

    max9611 4-007f: Invalid value received from ADC 0x8000: aborting
    max9611: probe of 4-007f failed with error -5

during boot.

Retrying on failure fixes the issue, e.g.:

    max9611_init:483: regval = 0x8000
    max9611 4-007f: Invalid value received from ADC 0x8000: aborting
    max9611_init:483: regval = 0x2780

According to the datasheet, 0x8000 is the Power-On Reset value.
Looks like it should be ignored, and retried?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

AH! I didn't notice! I booted the board a few times only, maybe it
didn't trigger (it was a Salvator-X H3, not an XS, but it shouldn't
make any difference).

Indeed... I haven't found a characterization of the delay required to
release registers from their POR values after power up, so I guess we
could read the register value again with a little timeout between
reads (whose value would be arbitrary, anyway..)

I'm a bit suprised though.. The max9611 chips are powered from the
+3.3V rail, and should have exited POR long before the driver gets
to probe, isn't it?

Thanks for reporting and sorry for having missed it in first place
