 Some i2c controllers do not support single-byte commands (write commands with
 no data, i2c_smbus_write_byte()). With such controllers, clearing the status
 register is impossible, and the PMBUS_SKIP_STATUS_CHECK flag must be set.

+by the standard WRITE_PROTECT command.
+
+PMBUS_NO_CAPABILITY
+
+Some PMBus chips don't respond with valid data when reading the CAPABILITY
+register. For such chips, this flag should be set so that the PMBus core

+PMBUS_READ_STATUS_AFTER_FAILED_CHECK
+
+Read the STATUS register after each failed register check.
+
+Some PMBus chips end up in an undefined state when trying to read an
+unsupported register. For such chips, it is necessary to reset the
+chip pmbus controller to a known state after a failed register check.
+This can be done by reading a known register. By setting this flag the
+driver will try to read the STATUS register after each failed
+register check. This read may fail, but it will put the chip into a
+known state.
