d26ec830f5 regulator: ti-abb: Convert to use devm_ioremap_resource
Commit 75096579c3 ("lib: devres: Introduce devm_ioremap_resource()")
introduced devm_ioremap_resource() and deprecated the use of
devm_request_and_ioremap().

While at it, remove the error message as devm_ioremap_resource prints a similar
error message.

f5cd8de2ce regulator: ti-abb: Fix off-by-one valid range checking for abb->current_info_idx
abb->current_info_idx is used as array subscript to access volt_table,
thus the valid value range should be 0 ... desc->n_voltages - 1.

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.
