The SY7636A hwmon driver keeps VCOM on from probe, so a display driver
can not power the panel only during updates.

Read the temperature only while the rails are on instead, and bind the
regulator to the I2C device directly, with the hwmon driver as its
auxiliary driver. The regulator also gains VCOM voltage control and
waits for power good on enable.

Patch 6 depends on patches 1-5 and touches the regulator, hwmon and
MFD drivers.

Tested on a PocketBook Verse (B288).

v2:
- drop the DT patch keeping VCOM always-on (Andreas)
- patch 3: only wait for power good, VCOM_EN stays as it was (Andreas)
- new patch 4: fix negative temperatures
- keep the temperature in drivers/hwmon as an auxiliary driver of the
  regulator, instead of moving it into the regulator driver (Guenter,
  Andreas)
- patch 5: no VCOM enable at probe, which also removes the probe race
- patch 5: read power good and the temperature in one transfer (Andreas)
