Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: adc: max9611: Fix too short conversion time delay
Date: Mon,  2 Dec 2019 09:55:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191202085546.21655-1-geert+renesas@glider.be> (raw)

As of commit b9ddd5091160793e ("iio: adc: max9611: Fix temperature
reading in probe"), max9611 initialization sometimes fails on the
Salvator-X(S) development board with:

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

The max9611 driver tests communications with the chip by reading the die
temperature during the probe function, which returns an invalid value.

According to the datasheet, the typical ADC conversion time is 2 ms, but
no minimum or maximum values are provided.  Maxim Technical Support
confirmed this was tested with temperature Ta=25 degreeC, and promised
to inform me if a maximum/minimum value is available (they didn't get
back to me, so I assume it is not).

However, the driver assumes a 1 ms conversion time.  Usually the
usleep_range() call returns after more than 1.8 ms, hence it succeeds.
When it returns earlier, the data register may be read too early, and
the previous measurement value will be returned.  After boot, this is
the temperature POR (power-on reset) value, causing the failure above.

Fix this by increasing the delay from 1000-2000 µs to 3000-3300 µs.

Note that this issue has always been present, but it was exposed by the
aformentioned commit.

After this patch, probing of the two max9611 sensors succeeded during
ca. 3000 boot cycles on Salvator-X(S) boards, equipped with various
R-Car H3/M3-W/M3-N SoCs.

v2:
  - Add Reviewed-by,
  - Add feedback from Maxim Technical Support,
  - Increase delay from 2000-2200 µs to 3000-3300 µs to play safe.
