[v9 3/4] i2c: muxes: pca954x: Configure MAX7357 in enhanced mode

The MAX7357 and MAX7358 have 6 additional registers called enhanced mode
in the following paragraphs. While the MAX7357 exposes those registers
without a special sequence, the MAX7358 requires an unlock sequence.
The enhanced mode allows to configure optional features which are nice to
have on an I2C mux, but are not mandatory for it's general operation.

As I don't have a MAX7358 for testing the special unlock sequence the
enhanced mode isn't used on the MAX7358, but it could be added later
if required.

The MAX7357 enhanced mode is used to configure the chip to
- Disable interrupts on bus locked up detection
- Enable bus locked-up clearing
- Disconnect only locked bus instead of all channels

This configuration protects the I2C tree from total failure and attempts
to unbrick the faulty bus. It's unclear why this isn't the default
configuration.

Tested using the MAX7357 and verified that the stalled bus is disconnected
while the other channels remain operational.
