Hi Guenter-san, Thank you so much for your comments. Oh I see and actually we have some I2C error units in our products. The patch is for the error case mainly. But I think that sometimes the I2C error is still caused on the normal units also actually. I am not sure about that the normal units error behavior is caused by the board (I2C controller) or the chip ADT7476A but probably the former but not sure. So should these patches not be applied to the adt7475 driver as you mentioned? At first I thought that the I2C SMBus APIs return error codes but adt7475 driver does not check so it should be checked the error codes. Is this not correct? To make sure let me confirm above.
