> adt7470_temp_write() and adt7470_pwm_write() update the driver's
> cached values (temp_min, temp_max, pwm_input, pwm_enable) before issuing
> the corresponding regmap_write(), and never check whether the write
> succeeded before committing that update. If the I2C transaction fails,
> the function correctly propagates the error to the caller, but the cache
> silently keeps the new value, which was never actually applied to the
> hardware. Subsequent reads then report a value that does not match the
