From 08da09f028043fed9653331ae75bc310411f72e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zev Weiss Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2022 20:51:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (pmbus) delta-ahe50dc-fan: work around hardware quirk CLEAR_FAULTS commands can apparently sometimes trigger catastrophic power output glitches on the ahe-50dc, so block them from being sent at all.
