Subject: [PATCH] hwmod: (pmbus) disable PEC if not enabled

Explicitly disable PEC when the client does not support it.
Without the explicit disable, when the device with the PEC support is removed
later when a device without PEC support is inserted into the same address,
the driver uses the old value of client->flags which contains the I2C_CLIENT_PEC
flag. As a consequence the PEC is used when it should not.
