Subject: [ 41/41] hwmon: (zl6100) Enable interval between chip accesses for all chips
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 16:38:51 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120316233814.308629950@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120316233829.GA14022@kroah.com>

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com>

commit fecfb64422d91a9621a3f96ab75c3a5f13e80b58 upstream.

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.
