Some drivers, like the max15301 or zl6100, are intentionally delaying SMBus communications, to prevent transmission errors. As this is necessary on additional PMBus compatible devices, implement a generic delay mechanism in the pmbus core. Introduces two delay settings in the pmbus_driver_info struct, one applies to every SMBus transaction and the other is for write transaction only. Once set by the driver the SMBus traffic, using the generic pmbus access helpers, is automatically delayed when necessary. The two settings are: access_delay: - Unit in microseconds - Stores the accessed timestamp after every SMBus access - Delays when necessary before the next SMBus access write_delay: - Unit in microseconds - Stores the written timestamp after a write SMBus access - Delays when necessary before the next SMBus access This allows to drop the custom delay code from the drivers and easily introduce this feature in additional pmbus drivers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
