[PATCH v2] iio: temperature: tsys01: fix broken PROM checksum validation

From: Salah Triki

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 03:10:47 EST


The current implementation of tsys01_crc_valid() incorrectly sums the
first word (n_prom[0]) repeatedly instead of iterating over the 8 words
retrieved from the PROM. This leads to a checksum mismatch and probe
failure on hardware.

According to the TSYS01 datasheet, the PROM consists of 8 words. A valid
check must iterate through all 8 words to verify the integrity of the
calibration data. The current driver only checks the first word 8 times.

Note: This fix was identified during a code audit and is based on
datasheet specifications. It has not been tested on real hardware.

Changes in v2:
- Update commit message to clarify that the fix is based on the
datasheet analysis.
- Add a note mentioning that it has not been tested on real hardware.
