Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] i2c: i801: don't instantiate spd5118 under SPD
 Write Disable

If SPD Write Disable bit in the SMBus is enabled, writing data to
addresses from 0x50 to 0x57 is forbidden. This may lead to the
following issues for spd5118 devices:

  1) Writes to the sensor hwmon sysfs attributes will always result
     in ENXIO.

  2) During system-wide resume, errors may occur during regcache sync,
     resulting in the following error messages:

     kernel: spd5118 1-0050: failed to write b = 0: -6
     kernel: spd5118 1-0050: pm: dpm_run_callback(): spd5118_resume [spd5118] returns -6
     kernel: spd5118 1-0050: pm: failed to resume async: error -6

  3) nvmem won't be usable, because writing to the page selector becomes
     impossible.

Also, BIOS vendors may choose to set the page to a value != 0 after a board
reset. This will make the sensor not functional unless its MR11 register
can be changed, which is impossible due to writes being disabled.

To address these issues, don't instantiate it at all if the SPD Write Disable
bit is set.
