The TDA38640 supports two operating modes to set the output voltage:
- PMBUS
- SVID

Due to an undocumented bug the regulator cannot be enabled using BIT7
of OPERATION(01h) register when in SVID mode.
It works when in PMBUS mode. In SVID mode the regulator only cares
about the ENABLE pin.

Add a workaround that needs the ENABLE pin to be left floating or
tied to a fixed level. The DT must contain the newly introduced
property 'infineon,en-pin-fixed-level' to enable this workaround.


Why is that property even needed ? Isn't the workaround always (and only)
required if the chip is in SVID mode ?
Will add below function to detect SVID mode.
static bool svid_mode(struct i2c_client *client)
{
    /* PMBUS_MFR_READ(0xD0) + Address */
    u8 write_buf[] = {0xd0, 0x44, 0x00};
    u8 read_buf[2];
    int ret;

    struct i2c_msg msgs[2] = {
        {
            .addr = client->addr,
            .flags = 0,
            .buf = write_buf,
            .len = sizeof(write_buf),
        },
        {
            .addr = client->addr,
            .flags = I2C_M_RD,
            .buf = read_buf,
            .len = sizeof(read_buf),
        }
    };

    ret = i2c_transfer(client->adapter, msgs, 2);

drop empty line

    if (ret < 0) {
        dev_err(&client->dev, "%s:%d i2c_transfer failed. %d", __func__, __LINE__, ret);
        return ret;

Return type is bool.

    }
    /* 0x44[15] determines PMBus Operating Mode */
    return !!(read_buf[1] & BIT(7));
}


"The application note AN_2203_PL12_2204_210835 having information on the register map
of TDA38640 is under review. The document will be uploaded to the Infineon website
once the review is completed."

How annoying. Is that really the only way to get that information ?

Based on svid_mode will init accordingly:
    if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SENSORS_TDA38640_REGULATOR) || !np || !svid_mode(client))
        return pmbus_do_probe(client, &data->info);


This is unnecessary complexity. Just add the local read/write
commands and be done with it.

if (svid_mode(client)) {
data->info.read_byte_data = tda38640_read_byte_data;
data->info.write_byte_data = tda38640_write_byte_data;
}

though it would be useful to error check the return value.

ret = svid_mode();
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
if (ret) {
/* consider adding comments here */
data->info.read_byte_data = tda38640_read_byte_data;
data->info.write_byte_data = tda38640_write_byte_data;
}

    dev_dbg(&client->dev, "SVID mode");

The workaround will map the PB_OPERATION_CONTROL_ON bit to the
PB_ON_OFF_CONFIG_EN_PIN_REQ bit of the ON_OFF_CONFIG register.
In combination with the fixed level on the ENABLE pin the regulator
can be controlled as expected.
