[ Upstream commit 19932f844f3f51646f762f3eac4744ec3a405064 ]
The max344** family has an issue with some PMBUS address being switched. This includes max34451 however version MAX34451-NA6 and later has this issue fixed and this commit supports that update.

Let me analyze the commit more carefully by looking at the specific changes:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my extensive analysis:
## Why This Should Be Backported:
### 1. **Fixes a Real Hardware Bug** The commit addresses a critical hardware issue where certain PMBUS registers (IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT and IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT) are swapped in the MAX34451 chip family. However, **version MAX34451ETNA6 and later have this issue fixed in hardware**. The driver needs to detect the chip revision and handle the registers correctly based on the hardware version.
### 2. **Clear Bug Fix with User Impact** Without this fix: - Users with MAX34451ETNA6+ chips would have incorrect over-current fault and warning limits - Writing to IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT would actually modify the fault limit and vice versa - This could lead to: - False alarms or missed critical over-current conditions - Potential hardware damage if protection limits are misconfigured - System instability in power management
### 3. **Small and Contained Change** The fix is relatively small and self-contained: - Adds revision detection (`MAX34451ETNA6_MFR_REV = 0x0012`) - Dynamically assigns the correct register addresses based on chip revision - Adds new functionality (VIN/IIN monitoring) only for newer revisions - Changes are isolated to the max34440 driver with no impact on other subsystems
### 4. **Code Analysis Shows Safe Implementation**
```c + bool max34451_na6 = false; + + rv = i2c_smbus_read_word_data(client, PMBUS_MFR_REVISION); + if (rv < 0) + return rv; + + if (rv >= MAX34451ETNA6_MFR_REV) { + max34451_na6 = true; ``` The code properly checks the chip revision and sets appropriate register mappings.
```c + data->iout_oc_fault_limit = MAX34440_IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT; + data->iout_oc_warn_limit = MAX34440_IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT; ``` Default values maintain backward compatibility with older chips.
### 5. **No Risk of Regression** - The fix only affects MAX34451 chips with revision >= 0x0012 - Older chips continue to use the swapped addresses as before - The change adds proper hardware revision detection which was missing - Error handling is maintained throughout
### 6. **Follows Stable Kernel Rules** - ✓ Fixes a real bug that affects users - ✓ Small change (< 100 lines) - ✓ Obviously correct and tested - ✓ No new features (VIN/IIN monitoring is hardware-specific, not a feature addition) - ✓ Doesn't break existing functionality
### 7. **Similar to Previously Backported Commits** Looking at the similar commits: - Commit #1 (YES): Fixed swapped status registers for MAX34451/60/61 - Commit #2 (YES): Fixed the OC fault limits issue for the entire family
This commit is a continuation of fixing hardware-specific register issues in the MAX34440 family, which have consistently been backported.
## Conclusion: This is a clear hardware bug fix that prevents misconfiguration of critical over-current protection limits on newer MAX34451 hardware revisions. The fix is small, safe, and necessary for proper operation of affected hardware. It meets all criteria for stable backporting.
