hwmon: (pmbus) Add support for MAX20751
MAX20751 is a multiphase power controller with internal buck converter. It uses VR12.0 to report the output voltage. This requires an explicit driver, since the VR version can not be auto-detected. The chip supports a manufacturer specific command to fine-tune the output voltage. This command is not currently supported. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports MAX20751 Multiphase Master with PMBus Interface
+and Internal Buck Converter.
+
+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.
