Hi Jonathan,
only patch 1 fixes a bug which is occurring on systems. In my test it happened
every one of about 10 - 15.000 measurements. But this depends on the interrupt
load of the system. With a high interrupt load there might be much more wrong
measurements.
Patch 2 is a performance optimization which prevents unneded reads. There is no
bug which is fixed by it.
I'll send out the patch set with more detailed commit messages.
Thanks,
Andreas
