[RFC PATCH 2/2] hwmon: (pmbus/ucd9000) Throttle SMBus transfers to avoid poor behaviour

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Short turn-around times between transfers to e.g. the UCD90320 can lead
to problematic behaviour, including excessive clock stretching, bus
lockups and potential corruption of the device's volatile state.

Introduce transfer throttling for the device with a minimum access
delay of 1ms.
