Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mfd: menf21bmc: Remove auto exiting of production
 mode and add sysfs interface

Changed "exit production mode" from automatic exiting to
manually using the sysfs interface.

If the driver exit the production mode automatically, the board will
not start anymore if the bootloader does not already have the "BIOS life sign"
feature.

This patch remove the auto mechanism and add a sysfs interface to manually
exiting the production e.g. during the EOL test of the board.
