hwmon: (pmbus) Add tps40422 front-end driver
For TI power management chip TPS40422, READ_TEMPERATURE_2 command is supported on page 1 of the chip, but the original driver(pmbus.c) only tried to detect this command on page 0, this will lead to a result that the temperature sensor in page 1 couldn't be detected. This change is to isolate the tps40422 driver from pmbus.c into a solo front-end driver.

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports TI TPS40422 Dual-Output or Two-Phase Synchronous Buck
+Controller with PMBus
+
+The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver.
+Please see Documentation/hwmon/pmbus for details on PMBus client drivers.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
+devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
+details.
+
+
+Platform data support
+---------------------
+
+The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+The following attributes are supported.
+
+in[1-2]_label "vout[1-2]"
+in[1-2]_input Measured voltage. From READ_VOUT register.
+in[1-2]_alarm voltage alarm.
+
+curr[1-2]_input Measured current. From READ_IOUT register.
+curr[1-2]_label "iout[1-2]"
+curr1_max Maximum current. From IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT register.
+curr1_crit Critical maximum current. From IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+curr1_max_alarm Current high alarm. From IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT status.
+curr1_crit_alarm Current critical high alarm. From IOUT_OC_FAULT status.
+curr2_alarm Current high alarm. From IOUT_OC_WARNING status.
+
+temp1_input Measured temperature. From READ_TEMPERATURE_2 register on page 0.
+temp1_max Maximum temperature. From OT_WARN_LIMIT register.
+temp1_crit Critical high temperature. From OT_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+temp1_max_alarm Chip temperature high alarm. Set by comparing
+ READ_TEMPERATURE_2 on page 0 with OT_WARN_LIMIT if TEMP_OT_WARNING
+ status is set.
+temp1_crit_alarm Chip temperature critical high alarm. Set by comparing
+ READ_TEMPERATURE_2 on page 0 with OT_FAULT_LIMIT if TEMP_OT_FAULT
+ status is set.
+temp2_input Measured temperature. From READ_TEMPERATURE_2 register on page 1.
+temp2_alarm Chip temperature alarm on page 1.
