hwmon: (pmbus) delta-ahe50dc-fan: work around hardware quirk
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
CLEAR_FAULTS commands can apparently sometimes trigger catastrophic
power output glitches on the ahe-50dc, so block them from being sent
at all.

* However, according to Delta it should be OK to simply not send any
* CLEAR_FAULTS commands (the device doesn't seem to be capable of
* reporting any faults anyway), so just blackhole them unconditionally.
