The pmbus core may call read/write word data functions with a page value
of -1, intending to perform the operation without setting the page.
However, the read/write word data functions accept only unsigned 8-bit
page numbers, and therefore cannot check for negative page number to
avoid setting the page. This results in setting the page number to 0xFF.
This may result in errors or undefined behavior of some devices
(specifically the ir35221, which allows the page to be set to 0xFF,
but some subsequent operations to read registers may fail).
Switch the pmbus_set_page page parameter to an integer and perform the
check for negative page there. Make read/write functions consistent in
accepting an integer page number parameter.

Some PMBus chips support monitoring an additional non-standard voltage. While
this voltage can in many cases be supported by simulating an additional sensor
page, this does not work in all cases. Specifically, it is problematic if the
data format is linear and the voltage is reported in LINEAR11 format. Since
output voltages use LINEAR16, and the exponent for LINEAR16 data is chip-wide
and fixed, this can result in overflows.
To solve this problem, add support for an additional virtual input voltage,
call it 'vmon', and treat this voltage as input voltage (which, when the chip
supports linear data format, uses LINEAR11).
