Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] hwmon: Add driver for the TEXAS TPS546D24 Buck Converter.
Hi Guenter,
Thanks for your reply !
But I have some confusion as following, please help to give me some feedback.
Thanks a lot !

When the vout mode bit 7 is set, we update vout mode and clear bit 7
in the driver probe function, this operation is the same as changing
the reported value of PMBUS_VOUT_MODE ?
Maybe I misunderstood, could you please help to explain clearly about this ?
Thanks again for your help :)
Thanks,
