[PATCH] hwmon: (zl6100) Enable interval between chip accesses for all chips

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

 



Intersil reports that all chips supported by the zl6100 driver require
an interval between chip accesses, even ZL2004 and ZL6105 which were thought
to be safe.
