This is insufficient, sorry. Problem is that pmbus_identify_common()
compares the more reported by PMBUS_VOUT_MODE with the configured mode.
Not setting format[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] means that the mode is the default (0),
which is linear mode. If the chip is configured for direct or vid mode
this again will result in probe failure.
I can see two options:
- Add a chip configuration flag such as PMBUS_DETECT_VOUT_MODE (for lack
of a better idea) and use it in pmbus_identify_common() to actually
_set_ the mode from the VOUT_MODE command instead of expecting it
to be already set. This would require providing the coefficients for
output voltage direct mode in mpq8785_info. This would be my preferred
solution (but require a separate patch to add the code to pmbus_core.c).
- Select a fixed mode and write code to convert affected register readings
to that mode if needed. See mp5990.c for an example.

Sorry, devicetree changes require a separate patch.
