This series adds a few features before adding support to MAX20830C and
MAX20840C.

Patches 1 and 2 adds new resistor feedback properties that is needed to
properly scale VOUT

Patches 3 and 4 adds support for devices MAX20830C and MAX20840C.

MAX20830C and MAX20840 are step-down DC-DC switching regulator with PMBus
interface. MAX20830C is a different packaging for MAX20830, and MAX20840C
supports 40A regulation compared to MAX20830 that is only 30A.

Changes in v5:
- Patch 2/4: added comment about not supporting limit registers
- Patch 4/4:
    - removed max20830c/40c entries in i2c_device_id
    - created an array to help scale adding of new variants
    - edited Kconfig to note new compatibles
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v4:
- Patch 1/4:
    - Added missing #include for gpio
    - Removed review tag, patch edited to complete examples
- Patch 2/4:
    - casted feedback resistors to u64 to avoid possible overflow
      during scaling
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- Dropped patch that add EN-GPIO property in DTS
    - discussed to be skippable until an actual use-case arise
- Patch 1/4: 
    - Carried over the completed examples from previously dropped patch
    - Kept the review tag as the carried info from the dropped patched
      was also reviewed.
- Patch 2/4: 
    - added clamping to read_vout during scaling
    - improved comments regarding future regulator support 
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- Patch 1/5: completing example
- Dropped patch adding GPIO enable in driver (no use case)
- Patch 3/5: added notes on READ_VOUT and related VOUT commands
- Patch 4/5: removed comment on fallback
- Patch 5/5: simplified device ID check handling
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
