Thomas Weißschuh 4381a36abd hwmon: add POWER-Z driver
POWER-Z is a series of devices to monitor power characteristics of
USB-C connections and display those on a on-device display.
Some of the devices, notably KM002C and KM003C, contain an additional
port which exposes the measurements via USB.

This is a driver for this monitor port.

It was developed and tested with the KM003C.

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the ChargerLAB POWER-Z USB-C power testing
family.
The device communicates with the custom protocol over USB.
The channel labels exposed via hwmon match the labels used by the on-device
display and the official POWER-Z PC software.
As current can flow in both directions through the tester the sign of the
channel "curr1_input" (label "IBUS") indicates the direction.
