The write cases of debugfs entries are provisioning and bench
helpers. By designs the MPQ8646 powers the CPU core rail,
so a wrong write can brown out the board or persist a bad
setpoint into finite-cycle NVM.
Said differently: some wrong register writes can and likely
will physically damage or destroy the chip and/or the board.
To be safe, it is disabled by default behind a
CONFIG_SENSORS_MPQ8646_DEBUG_UNSAFE and we print an explicit warning
banner at probe time when they are built in.

Add a new driver for the MPS MPQ8646 that is a PMBus device.
Beyond basic PMBus telemetry, the driver adds:
- alarm acknowledge via inX_reset_history.
- STATUS_WORD MPS-extended bit decode and the NVM-backed
PROTECTION_LAST post-mortem, exposed as a read-only debugfs
decoder.
- In-driver alarm-poll fallback work item (thanks lm90) for
boards without SMBALERT
