179144a0d4 hwmon: (pmbus) Replace EINVAL return codes with more appropriate errors
EINVAL was over-used in the code. Replace it with more appropriate errors.

866cf12a0e hwmon: (pmbus) Don't return errors from driver remove functions
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.

3a2805e845 hwmon: (pmbus/lm25066) Ignore byte writes to non-zero pages
pmbus_clear_faults() attempts to clear faults on non-existing real pages.
As a result, the command error bit in the status register is set, and faults
are not really cleared.

All byte writes to non-zero pages are requests to clear the status register
on that page. Since non-zero pages are virtual and do not exist on the chip,
there is nothing to do, and such requests have to be ignored. This fixes
above problem.
