Add support for reading and decoding direct format coefficients to
the PMBus core driver. If the new flag PMBUS_USE_COEFFICIENTS_CMD
is set, the driver will use the COEFFICIENTS register together with
the information in the pmbus_sensor_attr structs to initialize
relevant coefficients for the direct mode format.

This seems wrong. Coefficients are not maintained per page but per class,
and (re-)reading them for each supported page doesn't really add value or
even make sense.

attrs points beyond the array size here, so attrs->reg does not point
to a valid array element. The problem would also not be the register
this happens to point to, but the class (ie the chip does not support
a sensor of the requested class).

Not sure if this should trigger a message or error in the first place.
It won't matter since the chip will never need those coefficients.
If anything, this would be a misconfiguration (the driver should
not set direct format for this sensor class), and the return value
should be -EINVAL.

Either case, I wonder if this can be handled with less complex code,
ie without having to check data->info->func[] for all pages. How
about just walking through attrs and try all class matches until
one is found that works (ie not return on error but keep trying) ?

I think there should be a separate function to handle that,

It might be useful to have a little structure with {class, attribute list pointer,
attribute list size} and walk through that in a loop instead of repeating essentially
the same code multiple times.
