Add external diode fault read capability to the
MCP998X/33 and MCP998XD/33D driver.

Signed-off-by: Victor Duicu <victor.duicu@microchip.com>

Differences related to previous patch:
v2:
- in Standby state initiate a conversion cycle before
  reading fault information.
- edit comments to reflect the addition of fault read and to
  clarify that the external diode fault status, high limit status
  and low limit status registers have similar behavior.
- link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260422-add-external-diode-fault-read-v1-1-bb28e03a0766@microchip.com

v1:
- initial version.
