STATUS_INPUT, STATUS_IOUT, and STATUS_VOUT are supported according
to the datasheet. Do you have reason to believe that this is incorrect ?
If so, I would want to see a comment in the driver explaining that the
datasheet is wrong and doesn't support those registers.

Different series, probably different microcontroller and different microcode.

This isn't about "doable". We don't want to add new drivers just for fun
and/or "because it works as well". A new driver should only be added if
needed. It was done, for example, for IR35221 because that chip has
non-standard registers which we want to have supported.

Unless I am missing something, IR35201 only supports standard commands.
So the question is: Is the new driver really needed ? It appears you are
saying that, no, it isn't needed. Add the chip to pmbus.c as I suggested above.
If and only if that doesn't work we can talk about a new driver.

Thanks,
Guenter
