commit 62456189f3 upstream.
max6658 may report unrealistically high temperature during
the driver initialization, for which, its overtemp alarm pin
also gets asserted. For certain devices implementing overtemp
protection based on that pin, it may further trigger a reset to
the device. By reproducing the problem, the wrong reading is
found to be coincident with changing the conversion rate.
To mitigate this issue, set the stop bit before changing the
conversion rate and unset it thereafter. After such change, the
wrong reading is not reproduced. Apply this change only to the
max6657 kind for now, controlled by flag LM90_PAUSE_ON_CONFIG.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
