As mentioned with the other patches, setting actual voltages using the
hwmon subsystem is not appropriate. I can understand the need or desire
to be able to set margin voltages, but the hardware monitoring subsystem
is about monitoring. I would suggest to look at regulator subsystem,
though I don't know if that supports setting margin voltages.
If it doesn't, it might be appropriate to add support there.

The actual support can still be implemented in the pmbus drivers, but not
using hwmon attributes.

Thanks,
