Re: [PATCH v2] iio: accel: bmc150: check reset write error

[Carlos Casadiego <cdcp206@gmail.com>]

I have not verified this on BMC150 hardware.

The datasheet documents the soft reset, but I could not find a guarantee
that the I2C write is acknowledged before the reset starts.

Given that, I agree that propagating this error could cause a regression,
so I think the patch should be dropped.

Thanks for pointing this out.
