I do not see the point of this lock here and elsewhere in this function.
If you want to ensure that the status is consistent, you would need to
hold the lock over the entire function, not repeatedly acquire and release
it. Even then there would be no guarantee that the status is consistent
because it can change anytime on the chip side.

Ok to avoid continuation lines as long as the result has less then 100
columns.

Just noticed: The subject should start with "hwmon: (pmbus/core)"

Will hold the lock till end of function. Agree that chip side, status
may change any moment.
With this I got a question i.e., what should regulator status be
reported if regulator had previously encountered some fault but
currently while reading the status found that pgood bit indicate output
power is good.
Should we continue to still report historical fault or instead report
current regulator output status based on pgood ?
IMHO, it should report regulator status as ON if pgood bit is
clear(i.e., output is good) & leave previously encountered error
reporting to get_error_flag function.
I need your Suggestion here.

That is really a question for the regulator subsystem. Personally I think
the current status should be reported, but that is just me.
