[PATCH RESEND v2 0/5] hwmon: (pmbus/adm1266) blackbox, FW rev, rtc_class, GPIO label

[Abdurrahman Hussain]

This series fills in some gaps in the adm1266 driver and removes a
probe-time RTC seed that was clobbering valid device state.

Patch 1 exposes the firmware revision (IC_DEVICE_REV, 0xAE) via
debugfs alongside the existing sequencer_state entry.

Patch 2 adds a write-only clear_blackbox debugfs file. Devices
configured for single-recording mode (BLACKBOX_CONFIG[0] = 0) need
an explicit clear once the 32-record buffer fills; the documented
sub-command ({0xFE, 0x00} block-write to 0xDE) wasn't reachable
from userspace.

Patch 3 exposes the non-volatile POWERUP_COUNTER (0xE4) via debugfs.
The same value is embedded in every blackbox record, so the live
value lets userspace match a captured record back to the boot it
came from when correlating logs.

Patch 4 replaces the probe-time SET_RTC seed with an rtc_class
device backed by SET_RTC. The existing seed used CLOCK_MONOTONIC
seconds, which is meaningless as a wall-clock time and clobbers
whatever the device retained across a warm reboot. The data sheet
(Rev. D, p. 22) explicitly recommends "frequently send the time
stamp to the ADM1266 to synchronize the UNIX time and reduce the
time from drifting" when running on the internal oscillator (no
external 32.768 kHz crystal). Letting userspace own the policy via
standard tooling (hwclock, chrony, systemd-timesyncd) against
/dev/rtcN is both more correct and avoids any driver-specific
sysfs ABI.

Patch 5 disambiguates GPIO line labels on platforms that fit two
ADM1266 devices on different I2C buses at the same slave address.

Changes in v2:
- Drop the v1 "use wall-clock seconds for SET_RTC" and "write
  fractional-seconds field of SET_RTC" patches. v1 patch 6 already
  added an rtc_class device, so userspace now owns the time-set
  policy and the probe-time seed is no longer needed - removing it
  also fixes the cross-reboot blackbox-correlation regression the
  seed introduced.
- In the rtc_class patch, write the SET_RTC fractional-seconds
  bytes as zero rather than computing them from a timespec64. The
  rtc_class API is second-precision, so the divide that v1 patch 2
  was adding never produced a non-zero result anyway. This also
  drops the 64-bit divide that would have failed to link on 32-bit
  builds (Sashiko review).
- Use %d (decimal) for the I2C adapter number in GPIO line labels,
  matching the i2c-N convention used elsewhere in Linux. v1 used
  %x, which rendered bus numbers >= 10 in hexadecimal (Sashiko
  review).
