Subject: [PATCH 1/5] hwmon: (pmbus) Mark lowest/average/highest/rated attributes as read-only
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 11:16:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325181631.17259-2-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260325181631.17259-1-linux@roeck-us.net>
Writing those attributes is not supported, so mark them as read-only.
Prior to this change, attempts to write into these attributes returned
an error.
Mark boolean fields in struct pmbus_limit_attr and in struct
pmbus_sensor_attr as bit fields to reduce configuration data size.
The data is scanned only while probing, so performance is not a concern.
Fixes: 6f183d33a02e6 ("hwmon: (pmbus) Add support for peak attributes")
