Hi Guenter,

Thank you for the quick feedback!

My understanding is that that:
1) data->valid = true is only set in jc42_update_device() (which is
only called when reading back the values from the registers)
2) jc42_write() can write values without setting data->value = true
In other words: if jc42_read() is never called but jc42_write() is
then we still have some setting to apply while data->valid is false.
Whether that's possible in reality is something that I'm not sure
about.

If your suggestion is to simplify this to use data->valid only then I
can do that.
It would be great if you could also comment on whether
jc42_update_device() should be called from jc42_suspend() to give the
driver the chance to at least read the data once (and set data->valid)
if this has not happened before.


Best regards,
Martin
