Subject: [PATCH 3/3] hwmon: pmbus: Fix -EIO seen on pli1209

From: Patrick Rudolph <patrick.rudolph@...ements.com>

After doing performance optimizations the pli1209 driver failed to
probe with a probabilty of 2%. It wasn't able to read the PMBUS_OPERATION
register due to an -EIO error.

An investigation showed that the PLI1209 takes 230 usec to execute the
CLEAR_FAULTS command. During that time it's busy and NACKs all requests
on the SMBUS interface. It also NACKs reads on PMBUS_STATUS_BYTE
making it impossible to poll the BUSY flag.

Add a custom write_data function to just wait for not BUSY unconditionally
after sending a CLEAR_FAULTS command.

TEST: Verified using an I2C bus analyser that no more NACKs are seen after
      sending a CLEAR_FAULTS command.
