Almost all fault/warning bits in pmbus status registers remain set even
after fault/warning condition are removed. As per pmbus specification
these faults must be cleared by user.
Modify hwmon behavior to clear fault/warning bit after fetching data if
fault/warning bit was set. This allows to get fresh data in next read.

changes since v1:
v1 patch was clearing all the faults. That would have lead faults not
getting reported to user at all. This change clears only current fault
and that too after reporting it at least once. This way all the faults
will be reported to user space at least once.

Behaviour has been verified with following PSU
