Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the review.

>From probe:

if (voltage_uv)
	st->int_vref_mv = voltage_uv / 1000;
else
	dev_warn(&spi->dev, "Reference voltage unspecified\n");

So the idea was to, when voltage_uv = 0, return the previous voltage.
Should I instead handle this as an error the same way as in probe?

Thanks,
Renato
