This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: adc: max9611: Fix too short conversion time delay to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iio-adc-max9611-fix-too-short-conversion-time-delay.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a917781c642d12c4c88bb8b15908dfdfca3ba6fc Author: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 2 09:55:46 2019 +0100 iio: adc: max9611: Fix too short conversion time delay [ Upstream commit 9fd229c478fbf77c41c8528aa757ef14210365f6 ] 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.
