[PATCH v3 2/3] hwmon: tmp421: report /PVLD condition as fault

From: Paul Fertser
Date: Fri Sep 24 2021 - 05:30:37 EST


For both local and remote sensors all the supported ICs can report an
"undervoltage lockout" condition which means the conversion wasn't
properly performed due to insufficient power supply voltage and so the
measurement results can't be trusted.
