MFR_COMMON
This command returns status information for the alert pin (ALERTB), share-clock pin (SHARE_CLK), write-protect pin 
(WP), and device busy state.
This is the only command that may still be read when the device is busy processing an EEPROM or other command. It 
may be polled by the host to determine when the device is available to process a PMBus command. A busy device will 
always acknowledge its address but will NACK the command byte and set Status_byte_busy and Status_word_busy 
when it receives a command that it cannot immediately process.

SYMBOL
OPERATION
b[7]
Mfr_common_alertb
Returns alert status.

0: ALERTB is asserted low.
b[6]
Mfr_common_busyb
Returns device busy status.
1: The device is available to process PMBus commands.
0: The device is busy and will NACK PMBus commands.
b[5:2]
Reserved
Read only, always returns 1s
b[1]
Mfr_common_share_clk
Returns status of share-clock pin
1: Share-clock pin is being held low
0: Share-clock pin is active
b[0]
Mfr_common_write_protect Returns status of write-protect pin

USER_DATA_00, USER_DATA_01, USER_DATA_02, USER_DATA_03, USER_DATA_04, MFR_LTC_RESERVED_1 
and MFR_LTC_RESERVED_2
These registers are provided as user scratchpad and additional manufacturer reserved locations.
USER_DATA_00,  USER_DATA_01,  MFR_LTC_RESERVED_1  and MFR_LTC_RESERVED_2  are all reserved for 
manufacturer use. Such uses include manufacturer traceability information and LTpowerPlay
 
features like the 
CRC calculation and storage for user EEPROM configurations.
USER_DATA_02 is reserved for OEM use. These 2 bytes might be used for OEM traceability or revision information.
USER_DATA_03 and USER_DATA_04 are available for user scratchpad use. These 18 bytes (1 unpaged word plus 
8 paged words) might be used for traceability or revision information such as serial number, board model number, 
assembly location, or assembly date.
All user and OEM scratchpad registers may be stored and recalled from EEPROM using the STORE_USER_ALL and 
RESTORE_USER_ALL commands.
