This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

iio: temperature: tsys01: fix broken PROM checksum validation

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: temperature: tsys01: fix broken PROM checksum validation

The current implementation of tsys01_crc_valid() incorrectly sums the first word (n_prom[0]) repeatedly instead of iterating over the 8 words retrieved from the PROM. This leads to a checksum mismatch and probe failure on hardware.

According to the TSYS01 datasheet, the PROM consists of 8 words. A valid check must iterate through all 8 words to verify the integrity of the calibration data. The current driver only checks the first word 8 times.

Note: This fix was identified during a code audit and is based on datasheet specifications. It has not been tested on real hardware.
