Driver remove functions have an error return value, but rarely return an error
in practice. If a driver does return an error from its remove function, the
driver won't be unloaded and is expected to stay alive.
pmbus_do_remove() is defined as returning an int, but always returns 0 (no
error). Calling code passes that return value on to high level driver
remove functions, but does not evaluate it and removes driver data even if
pmbus_do_remove() returned an error (which it in practice never does). Even if
this code could never cause a real problem, it is nevertheless conceptually
wrong.
To reduce confusion and simplify the code, change pmbus_do_remove() to be a void
function, and have PMBus client drivers always return zero in their driver
remove functions.

In VID mode, output voltages are measured and reported as VID values, and
have to be converted to voltages using VID conversion tables or functions.
Support is added for VR11 only at this time.
This patch enables support for PMBus devices supporting VID VR11 based output
voltage selection such as NCP4200 and NCP4208.

Since the number of PMBus drivers is getting large, move them into
directory drivers/hwmon/pmbus to improve readability and scalability.
