Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (sht3x) Return the consumed count for heater writes
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:47:18 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019154718.2328055-1-pocj8ur4in@gmail.com> (raw)
heater_enable_store() returns the result of i2c_master_send(), which is
the two-byte command length on success rather than the sysfs input
count. This can report more bytes than were supplied, or a partial write
for a fully processed input. For example, writing "on\n" returns two
instead of three, so a caller retrying the remaining newline gets
-EINVAL even though the heater command succeeded. Retrying the remainder
of "off\n" can also send the heater-off command twice.
Return count after a complete command transfer. Preserve negative I2C
errors and return -EIO for nonnegative incomplete transfers, so a
zero-message transfer is not reported as a successful zero-byte write.
Keep the existing boolean parsing, command selection and locking.
Fixes: 50c22cd154e5 ("hwmon: (sht3x) add humidity heater element control")

Tested under ARM64 QEMU with an emulated I2C adapter through hwmon
sysfs. Successful writes return the input count, and zero-message
transfers return -EIO. Retry behavior and negative I2C errors were also
checked. No physical sensor was tested.
