Please also update Documentation/hwmon/ltc2978.rst and drivers/hwmon/pmbus/Kconfig.

Please just add the chip specific defines as you do below, and don't move
the defines above around. It happens a lot that there are common definitions
followed by chip specific ones. Spelling that out explicitly doesn't really
add much if any value and just results in rearranged code whenever a new
chip with other parameters is added.

I think something is wrong here.

4500 * 65535 uV ~= 295V.

However, the datasheet says that the output voltage is calculated by
(register value / 1024), where the register value is a 16-bit value.
65535 / 1024 ~= 64V. Where does the 4,500 come from ?

> +#define LTC2971_N_VOLTAGES	((LTC2971_MAX_UV / LTC2978_UV_STEP) + 1)

Does the chip really support 294,908 voltages ? That seems impossible since
the VOUT_COMMAND register is only 16 bit wide.

Unless I misunderstand the datasheet, the voltage resolution should be 1/1024V
or 976 uV, and there should be 65,536 voltages. This is from the chip datasheet,
PMBus Command Description, Note 1: Data Formats, for L16 data.

If my understanding is wrong, please explain and document your numbers.

Thanks,
Guenter
