This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled hwmon: (lm90) Reduce maximum conversion rate for G781 to the 4.14-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: hwmon-lm90-reduce-maximum-conversion-rate-for-g781.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 55203c3122376a36fa505316a17be9f5ebf4edde Author: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 6 11:48:52 2022 -0800 hwmon: (lm90) Reduce maximum conversion rate for G781 [ Upstream commit a66c5ed539277b9f2363bbace0dba88b85b36c26 ] According to its datasheet, G781 supports a maximum conversion rate value of 8 (62.5 ms). However, chips labeled G781 and G780 were found to only support a maximum conversion rate value of 7 (125 ms). On the other side, chips labeled G781-1 and G784 were found to support a conversion rate value of 8. There is no known means to distinguish G780 from G781 or G784; all chips report the same manufacturer ID and chip revision. Setting the conversion rate register value to 8 on chips not supporting it causes unexpected behavior since the real conversion rate is set to 0 (16 seconds) if a value of 8 is written into the conversion rate register. Limit the conversion rate register value to 7 for all G78x chips to avoid the problem.
