Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] hwmon: (pmbus/pim4328) Add new pmbus flag NO_WRITE_PROTECT

Some PMBus chips respond with invalid data when reading the WRITE_PROTECT
register. For such chips, this flag should be set so that the PMBus core
driver doesn't use the WRITE_PROTECT command to determine its behavior.
