Extend regulator notification support
This series extends the regulator notification and error flag support.
Initial discussion on the topic can be found here:

In a nutshell - the series adds:
1. WARNING level events/error flags. (Patch 3)
Current regulator 'ERROR' event notifications for over/under
voltage, over current and over temperature are used to indicate
condition where monitored entity is so badly "off" that it actually
indicates a hardware error which can not be recovered. The most
typical hanling for that is believed to be a (graceful)
system-shutdown. Here we add set of 'WARNING' level flags to allow
sending notifications to consumers before things are 'that badly off'
so that consumer drivers can implement recovery-actions.
2. Device-tree properties for specifying limit values. (Patches 1, 5)
Add limits for above mentioned 'ERROR' and 'WARNING' levels (which
send notifications to consumers) and also for a 'PROTECTION' level
(which will be used to immediately shut-down the regulator(s) W/O
informing consumer drivers. Typically implemented by hardware).
Property parsing is implemented in regulator core which then calls
callback operations for limit setting from the IC drivers. A
warning is emitted if protection is requested by device tree but the
underlying IC does not support configuring requested protection.
3. Helpers which can be registered by IC. (Patch 4)
Target is to avoid implementing IRQ handling and IRQ storm protection
in each IC driver. (Many of the ICs implementin these IRQs do not allow
masking or acking the IRQ but keep the IRQ asserted for the whole
duration of problem keeping the processor in IRQ handling loop).
4. Emergency poweroff function (refactored out of the thermal_core to
kernel/reboot.c) which is called if IC fires error IRQs but IC reading
fails and given retry-count is exceeded. (Patches 2, 4)
Please note that the mutex in the emergency shutdown was replaced by a
simple atomic in order to allow call from any context.
The helper was attempted to be done so it could be used to implement
roughly same logic as is used in qcom-labibb regulator. This means
amongst other things a safety shut-down if IC registers are not readable.
Using these shut-down retry counters are optional. The idea is that the
helper could be also used by simpler ICs which do not provide status
register(s) which can be used to check if error is still active.
ICs which do not have such status register can simply omit the 'renable'
callback (and retry-counts etc) - and helper assumes the situation is Ok
and re-enables IRQ after given time period. If problem persists the
handler is ran again and another notification is sent - but at least the
delay allows processor to avoid IRQ loop.
Patch 7 takes this notification support in use at BD9576MUF.
Patch 8 is related to MFD change which is not really related to the RFC
here. It was added to this series in order to avoid potential conflicts.
Patch 9 adds a maintainers entry.
Changelog v10-RESEND:
- rebased on v5.13-rc4
Changelog v10:
- rebased on v5.13-rc2
- Move rdev_*() print macros to the internal.h and use rdev_dbg()
from irq_helpers.c
- Export rdev_get_name() and move it from coupler.h to driver.h for
others to use. (It was already in coupler.h but not exported -
usage was limited and coupler.h does not sound like optimal place
as rdev_name is not only used by coupled regulators)
- Send all regulator notifications from irq_helpers.c at one OR'd
event for the sake of simplicity. For BD9576 this does not matter
as it has own IRQ for each event case. Header defining events says
they may be OR'd.
- Change WARN() at protection shutdown to pr_emerg as suggested by
Petr.
Changelog v9:
- rebases on v5.13-rc1
- Update thermal documentation
- Fix regulator notification event number
Changelog v8:
- split shutdown API adding and thermal core taking it in use to
own patches.
- replace the spinlock with atomic when ensuring the emergency
shutdown is only called once.
Changelog v7:
general:
- rebased on v5.12-rc7
- new patch for refactoring the hw-failure reboot logic out of
thermal_core.c for others to use.
