[PATCH v4 01/17] staging: iio: resolver: ad2s1210: do not use fault register for dummy read

From: David Lechner
Date: Thu Oct 05 2023 - 20:51:18 EST


When reading registers on the AD2S1210 chip, we have to supply a "dummy"
address for the second SPI tx byte so that we don't accidentally write
to a register. This register will be read and the value discarded on the
next regmap read or write call.

Reading the fault register has a side-effect of clearing the faults
so we should not use this register for the dummy read.

v4 changes: New patch

(this probably should have been done before "staging: iio: resolver:
ad2s1210: use regmap for config registers" but was overlooked until now)
