Hi Sakari, Tomasz,

As below discussion that other drivers are with this pattern, I would prefer to 
defer to address the concern in later discussion with you and owners of other 
sensors.

Thanks a lot.

Regards, Andy

This doesn't address the problem yet. I think we'll need one more field in the 
device specific struct to convey this to the driver. Please see the smiapp 
driver, and its use of "active" field.

It's a little different implementation, you could well put the check here 
rather than the function performing the writes.

This isn't a severe issue though, in practice it'll be unlikely to be noticed 
as it hasn't been noticed in some other drivers that use the same pattern. IMO 
this could be addressed later on, possibly together with other drivers with 
similar issues.
