Re: [PATCH v2] iio: imu: st_lsm6dsx: deselect shub page before reading whoami

[Lorenzo Bianconi]

> As part of driver initialization, e.g. st_lsm6dsx_init_shub() selects
> the shub register page using st_lsm6dsx_set_page(). Selecting the shub
> register page shadows the regular register space so whoami, among other
> registers, is no longer accessible.
> 
> In applications where the IMU is permanently powered separately from the
> processor, there is a window where a reset of the CPU leaves the IMU in
> the shub register page. Once this occurs, any subsequent probe attempt
> fails because of the register shadowing.
