6127daa850 regulator: ti-abb: Add support for interleaved LDO registers
Certain platforms such as DRA7 have quirky memory maps such as:
PRM_ABBLDO_DSPEVE_CTRL	0x4ae07e20
PRM_ABBLDO_IVA_CTRL	0x4ae07e24
other-registers
PRM_ABBLDO_DSPEVE_SETUP	0x4ae07e30
PRM_ABBLDO_IVA_SETUP	0x4ae07e34

These need the address range allocation to be either not reserved OR
unique allocation per register instance or use something like syscon
based solution.

By going with unique allocation per register, we are able to now have
a single compatible driver for all instances on all platforms which
use the IP block.

So, introduce a new "ti,abb-v3" compatible to allow for definitions
where explicit register definitions are provided, while maintaining
backward compatibility of older predefined register offsets provided
by "ti-abb-v1" and "ti-abb-v2".

As part of this change, we rename a few variables to indicate the
appropriate meaning.

40b1936efe regulator: Introduce TI Adaptive Body Bias(ABB) on-chip LDO driver
Adaptive Body Biasing (ABB) modulates transistor bias voltages
dynamically in order to optimize switching speed versus leakage.

Texas Instruments' SmartReflex 2 technology provides support for this
power management technique with Forward Body Biasing (FBB) and Reverse
Body Biasing (RBB). These modulate the body voltage of transistor
cells or blocks dynamically to gain performance and reduce leakage.
TI's SmartReflex white paper[1] has further information for usage in
conjunction with other power management techniques.

The application of FBB/RBB technique is determined for each unique
device in some process nodes, whereas, they are mandated on other
process nodes.

In a nutshell, ABB technique is implemented on TI SoC as an on-chip
LDO which has ABB module controlling the bias voltage. However, the
voltage is unique per device. These vary per SoC family and the manner
in which these techniques are used may vary depending on the Operating
Performance Point (OPP) voltage targeted. For example:
OMAP3630/OMAP4430: certain OPPs mandate usage of FBB independent of
	devices.
OMAP4460/OMAP4470: certain OPPs mandate usage of FBB, while others may
	optionally use FBB or optimization with RBB.
OMAP5: ALL OPPs may optionally use ABB, and ABB biasing voltage is
	influenced by vset fused in s/w and requiring s/w override of
	default values.

Further, two generations of ABB module are used in various TI SoCs.
They have remained mostly register field compatible, however the
register offset had switched between versions.

We introduce ABB LDO support in the form of a regulator which is
controlled by voltages denoting the desired Operating Performance
Point which is targeted. However, since ABB transition is part of OPP
change sequence, the sequencing required to ensure sane operation
w.r.t OPP change is left to the controlling driver (example: cpufreq
SoC driver) using standard regulator operations.

The driver supports all ABB modes and ability to override ABB LDO vset
control efuse based ABB mode detection etc.

Current implementation is heavily influenced by the original patch
series [2][3] from Mike Turquette. However, the current implementation
supports only device tree based information.
