Some PMBus chips do not support the VOUT_MODE register. To make matters worse,
such chips may not return an error when reading the register either, but instead
return 0xff.

Check if the register exists using pmbus_check_byte_register() before reading
its value. In addition, validate the returned value and ignore it if it is 0xff
(which is invalid).
