This patch also needs commit "hwmon: (pmbus/lm25066) Swap low/high
current coefficients for LM5066(i)" to maintain the existing reporting
behavior for LM5066 devices atleast.
(as now it will be pulling from the _L values by default)

I spot checked the coeff values for lm25056 with the online datasheet
and they also seem to be swapped although it is a little hard to be
sure since the meaning of GAIN input seems to be opposite of CL input:
GAIN=0 is low current and GAIN=1 is high current.
