Create YAML bindings for the Active-semi PMICs and remove the old text files. The bindings aren't perfect, for instance I couldn't find good descriptions for the vendor properties in the "charger" node of the ACT8945A because I am not familiar with the hardware and these properties were not documented anywhere. The YAML schemas are a bit different than what is described in the old text files, because these were sometimes wrong or had missing information. This is the case for the ACT8600 documentation, which specified the valid node names for the regulators, while the driver was expecting different names. This led to the current situation where we have two different boards using different names for the regulators: - arch/mips/boot/dts/ingenic/ci20.dts uses the names documented in the text file, - arch/mips/boot/dts/ingenic/gcw0.dts uses the names that the driver expects. In theory, the driver should be fixed to follow the documentation, and accept both naming schemes. In practice though, when the PMIC node was added to the ci20.dts board file, the names were already wrong in regards to what the driver expected, so it never really worked correctly and wasn't tested properly. Furthermore, in that board the consumers of the regulators aren't working for various other reasons (invalid GPIOs, etc.). For that reason, for the ACT8600 bindings I decided to only use the node names that the driver expects (and that gcw0.dts uses), instead of accepting both old and new names. A follow-up patch will update the CI20 board to use the new regulator names.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
