    hwmon: (pmbus) Add virtual page config bit · 464df6fa
    Andrew Jeffery authored
    Some circumstances call for virtual pages, to expose multiple values
    packed into an extended PMBus register in a manner non-compliant with
    the PMBus standard. An example of this is the Maxim MAX31785 controller,
    which extends the READ_FAN_SPEED_1 PMBus register from two to four bytes
    to support tach readings for both rotors of a dual rotor fan. This extended
    register contains two word-sized values, one reporting the rate of the
    fastest rotor, the other the rate of the slowest. The concept of virtual
    pages aids this situation by mapping the page number onto the value to be
    selected from the vectored result.
    
    We should not try to set virtual pages on the device as such a page
    explicitly doesn't exist; add a flag so we can avoid doing so.
