dm: regulator: add implementation of driver model regulator uclass

This commit introduces the implementation of dm regulator API.
Device tree support allows for auto binding. And by the basic
uclass operations, it allows to driving the devices in a common
way. For detailed informations, please look into the header file.

Core files:
- drivers/power/regulator-uclass.c - provides regulator common functions api
- include/power/regulator.h - define all structures required by the regulator

Changes:
- new uclass-id: UCLASS_REGULATOR
- new config: CONFIG_DM_REGULATOR

+Voltage/Current regulator
+
+Binding:
+The regulator devices don't use the "compatible" property. The binding is done
+by the prefix of regulator node's name. Usually the pmic I/O driver will provide
+the array of 'struct pmic_child_info' with the prefixes and compatible drivers.
+The bind is done by calling function: pmic_bind_childs().
+Example drivers:
+pmic: drivers/power/pmic/max77686.c
+regulator: drivers/power/regulator/max77686.c
+
+For the node name e.g.: "prefix[:alpha:]num { ... }":
+- the driver prefix should be: "prefix" or "PREFIX" - case insensitive
+- the node name's "num" is set as "dev->driver_data" on bind
+
+Example the prefix "ldo" will pass for: "ldo1", "ldo@1", "LDO1", "LDOREG@1"...
+
+Required properties:
+- regulator-name: a string, required by the regulator uclass
+
+Note
+The "regulator-name" constraint is used for setting the device's uclass
+platform data '.name' field. And the regulator device name is set from
+it's node name.
+
+Optional properties:
+- regulator-min-microvolt: a minimum allowed Voltage value
+- regulator-max-microvolt: a maximum allowed Voltage value
+- regulator-min-microamp: a minimum allowed Current value
+- regulator-max-microamp: a maximum allowed Current value
+- regulator-always-on: regulator should never be disabled
+- regulator-boot-on: enabled by bootloader/firmware
+
+Other kernel-style properties, are currently not used.
+
+Note:
+For the regulator autoset from constraints, the framework expects that:
+- regulator-min-microvolt is equal to regulator-max-microvolt
+- regulator-min-microamp is equal to regulator-max-microamp
+- regulator-always-on or regulator-boot-on is set
+
+Example:
+ldo0 {
+	/* Mandatory */
+	regulator-name = "VDDQ_EMMC_1.8V";
+
+	/* Optional */
+	regulator-min-microvolt = <1800000>;
+	regulator-max-microvolt = <1800000>;
+	regulator-min-microamp = <100000>;
+	regulator-max-microamp = <100000>;
+	regulator-always-on;
+	regulator-boot-on;
+};

+
+/**
+ * U-Boot Voltage/Current Regulator
+ * ================================
+ *
+ * The regulator API is based on a driver model, with the device tree support.
+ * And this header describes the functions and data types for the uclass id:
+ * 'UCLASS_REGULATOR' and the regulator driver API.
+ *
+ * The regulator uclass - is based on uclass platform data which is allocated,
+ * automatically for each regulator device on bind and 'dev->uclass_platdata'
+ * points to it. The data type is: 'struct dm_regulator_uclass_platdata'.
+ * The uclass file: 'drivers/power/regulator/regulator-uclass.c'
+ *
+ * The regulator device - is based on driver's model 'struct udevice'.
+ * The API can use regulator name in two meanings:
+ * - devname  - the regulator device's name: 'dev->name'
+ * - platname - the device's platdata's name. So in the code it looks like:
+ *              'uc_pdata = dev->uclass_platdata'; 'name = uc_pdata->name'.
+ *
+ * The regulator device driver - provide an implementation of uclass operations
+ * pointed by 'dev->driver->ops' as a struct of type 'struct dm_regulator_ops'.
+ *
+ * To proper bind the regulator device, the device tree node should provide
+ * regulator constraints, like in the example below:
+ *
+ * ldo1 {
+ *      regulator-name = "VDD_MMC_1.8V";     (mandatory for bind)
+ *      regulator-min-microvolt = <1000000>; (optional)
+ *      regulator-max-microvolt = <1000000>; (optional)
+ *      regulator-min-microamp = <1000>;     (optional)
+ *      regulator-max-microamp = <1000>;     (optional)
+ *      regulator-always-on;                 (optional)
+ *      regulator-boot-on;                   (optional)
+ * };
+ *
+ * Please take a notice, that for the proper operation at least name constraint
+ * is needed, e.g. for call the device_by_platname(...).
+ *
+ * Regulator bind:
+ * For each regulator device, the device_bind() should be called with passed
+ * device tree offset. This is required for this uclass's '.post_bind' method,
+ * which do the scan on the device node, for the 'regulator-name' constraint.
+ * If the parent is not a PMIC device, and the child is not bind by function:
+ * 'pmic_bind_childs()', then it's recommended to bind the device by call to
+ * dm_scan_fdt_node() - this is usually done automatically for bus devices,
+ * as a post bind method.
+ * Having the device's name constraint, we can call regulator_by_platname(),
+ * to find interesting regulator. Before return, the regulator is probed,
+ * and the rest of its constraints are put into the device's uclass platform
+ * data, by the uclass regulator '.pre_probe' method.
+ *
+ * For more info about PMIC bind, please refer to file: 'include/power/pmic.h'
+ *
+ * Note:
+ * Please do not use the device_bind_by_name() function, since it pass '-1' as
+ * device node offset - and the bind will fail on uclass .post_bind method,
+ * because of missing 'regulator-name' constraint.
+ *
+ *
+ * Fixed Voltage/Current Regulator
+ * ===============================
+ *
+ * When fixed voltage regulator is needed, then enable the config:
+ * - CONFIG_DM_REGULATOR_FIXED
+ *
+ * The driver file: 'drivers/power/regulator/fixed.c', provides basic support
+ * for control the GPIO, and return the device tree constraint values.
+ *
+ * To bind the fixed voltage regulator device, we usually use a 'simple-bus'
+ * node as a parent. And 'regulator-fixed' for the driver compatible. This is
+ * the same as in the kernel. The example node of fixed regulator:
+ *
+ * simple-bus {
+ *     compatible = "simple-bus";
+ *     #address-cells = <1>;
+ *     #size-cells = <0>;
+ *
+ *     blue_led {
+ *         compatible = "regulator-fixed";
+ *         regulator-name = "VDD_LED_3.3V";
+ *         regulator-min-microvolt = <3300000>;
+ *         regulator-max-microvolt = <3300000>;
+ *         gpio = <&gpc1 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
+ *     };
+ * };
+ *
+ * The fixed regulator devices also provide regulator uclass platform data. And
+ * devices bound from such node, can use the regulator drivers API.
