After looking more into the existing PMBus code and into this patch,
I really fail to understand why the above change would be needed.
The PMBus core code already reads the status register to check if
there is a communication error. I fail to see why it would be necessary
to do it again, and why it would be necessary to change behavior for
the other chips supported by this driver.
