Mårten Lindahl 07fb76273d hwmon: (pmbus) Introduce and use cached vout margins
When setting a new voltage the voltage boundaries are read every time to
check that the new voltage is within the proper range. Checking these
voltage boundaries consists of reading one of PMBUS_MFR_VOUT_MIN/
PMBUS_VOUT_MARGIN_LOW registers and then PMBUS_MFR_VOUT_MAX/
PMBUS_VOUT_MARGIN_HIGH together with writing the PMBUS_CLEAR_FAULTS
register.

Since these boundaries are never being changed, it can be cached and
thus saving unnecessary smbus transmissions.
