[PATCH] hwmon: (mcp9982) Update the interval cache only after successful writes
From: Baek Kyu, Kim
Date: Sun Oct 18 2026 - 02:01:43 EST
mcp9982_write() updates interval_idx before writing the conversion-rate
register. If the write fails without changing the register, subsequent
update_interval reads report the requested interval instead of the
previous setting.
Update interval_idx only after regmap_write() succeeds, leaving the
previous cached interval in place on error.

Tested under ARM64 QEMU with an emulated SMBus adapter through the hwmon
sysfs interface. Rejected writes reproduce the incorrect interval;
the fix retains the previous value. Successful writes, retries and
MCP9982D's interval limit were also checked. No physical sensor was tested.
