[PATCH] hwmon: (occ) Fix poll rate limiting

Eddie James eajames at linux.ibm.com
Fri Apr 30 07:22:46 AEST 2021


The poll rate limiter time was initialized at zero. This breaks the
comparison in time_after if jiffies is large. Switch to storing the
next update time rather than the previous time, and initialize the
time when the device is probed.
