[PATCH v7 0/4] hwmon: pmbus: add MPS MPQ8646 support

Add support for the Monolithic Power Systems MPQ8646 step-down
converter as a PMBus device.

  1/4 pmbus core: export pmbus_check_and_notify_faults() so a chip
      driver can run the SMBALERT# path check and notify sequence
      from a polling work item when the chip's SMBALERT# pin is
      unavailable to the CPU.
  2/4 dt-bindings: add the MPQ8646 compatible to the existing
      mps,mpq8785 schema (same mps,vout-fb-divider-ratio-permille
      property, same constraints).
  3/4 the MPQ8646 driver: PMBus telemetry
  4/4 the provisioning/NVM write entries, compiled out by default
      thanks to SENSORS_MPQ8646_DEBUG_UNSAFE.

Changes in v7:
- driver: named initializer for the i2c_device_id table (reported by
  the Sashiko AI, confirmed by Guenter Roeck it is a real issue)
- add pmbus_lock in every debugfs accessor that touches, so reads cannot
  race the pmbus core and no write can slip through while
  clear_protection_last_force temporarily lowers WRITE_PROTECT
  (reported by the Sashiko AI, confirmed by Guenter Roeck)
- propagate the i2c error codes from the debugfs write handlers instead
  of returning success
- explicit Kconfig and documentation warnings, and add a WARNING banner
  at probing of the device. (requested by Guenter Roeck)
- reword some commit logs (reported by Markus Elfring)
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v6:
- core: replace the pmbus_get_hwmon_device() accessor with an exported
  pmbus_check_and_notify_faults() (suggested by Guenter Roeck on v5)
- driver: drop the bring-up probe/instrumentation debugfs entries
  (challenged by Guenter Roeck on v4)
- new patch 4/4: move the write/provisioning debugfs entries
  behind a new default-n SENSORS_MPQ8646_DEBUG_UNSAFE
- move the debugfs files into the client's pmbus debugfs directory
  (pmbus_get_debugfs_dir()), mask using VOUT_MODE checks, MPQ8646_DEBUG()
  using dev_dbg(), drop the 0xFF VOUT_MODE probe check and the
  source-attribution comments (many inline reviews reported
  by Guenter Roeck on v5)
- driver: drop the WRITE_PROTECT read shim: the HW implements the
  register (reads back 0x00, unprotected), so the core handles write
  protection as designed (reported by Guenter Roeck on v5)
- dt-bindings: fold the MPQ8646 into the existing mps,mpq8785.yaml
  (suggested by Krzysztof Kozlowski on v5)
- scope locking, guard() and scoped_guard() (suggested by Markus
  Elfring on v5)
- XXX TBD: should pmbus_check_and_notify_faults() also update
  the pmbus registered thermal zones, or is that follow-up material ?
  Currently, neither the SMBALERT# path nor this helper does it.

Changes in v5:
- driver: fix the hwmon channel indices used by the in*_alarm poll
  notifications (thanks Sashiko AI, v4)
- driver: remove the shared debugfs root on module unload, by creating
  it in module_init() and removing it in module_exit(). It also drops
  the v4 per-probe root mutex and debugfs_lookup()
  (Sashiko AI review of v4)
- doc: add Documentation/hwmon/mpq8646.rst to the toctree (kernel test robot)
- doc: fix a malformed table and drop the stale probe_page_write row
  (removed since v3) and fix typo
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v4 (all reported by the Sashiko AI review on v3):
- driver: register debugfs only after a successful pmbus_do_probe() --
  the debugfs handlers take pmbus_lock() and rely on the pmbus clientdata
  that pmbus_do_probe() installs (NULL-deref window in v3)
- driver: in remove(), unregister debugfs before cancel_delayed_work_sync()
  so a debugfs write cannot re-arm the poll worker after it is cancelled
- driver: serialise the shared debugfs root create against concurrent
  probes with a static mutex
- driver: move the remaining last_probe_* updates (clear_protection_last,
  store_all, restore_all) inside mps_lock
- dt-bindings: describe the hardware, not the driver, in the description
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v3 (all reported by the Sashiko AI review on v2):
- driver: alarm_poll_interval_ms is now a debugfs fops
- driver: pmbus_lock() around the async raw i2c accesses: the poll
  worker and the CLEAR_LAST_FAULT force sequence, the nvmem snapshot read
  keeps mps_lock (read-only, no chip-state change)
- driver: update last_probe_rc/last_probe_data under mps_lock to avoid
  torn diagnostics
- driver: remove the dead PMBUS_PAGE swallow in write_byte
- driver: remove the probe_page_write debugfs hook
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- driver: register debugfs only after the DT-property validation, to
  avoid an early probe error to avoid dangling debugfs entries
- driver: do not schedule the alarm-poll worker when SMBALERT# (irq)
  is wired, and do not re-arm it from the worker in that case
- driver: dput() the dentry returned by debugfs_lookup()
- driver: hold mps_lock around the nvmem snapshot reads
- driver: fix VID coefficients comment
- dt-bindings: fix typo of the commit message
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
