[PATCH V4 0/4] mmc: core: Add support for MMC power sequences

Changes in v4:
	- Fixed call to kfree() in patch3 and patch4.

Changes in v3:
	Fixed comments from Mark Rutland:
	- Document binding in one patch to get the big picture.
	- Keep code and DT document consistent around how many GPIO resets we
	  support. I decided to go for one GPIO, we can extend that if needed
	  later on.
	- Change compatible string for simple MMC power sequence and renamed the
	  file for its documentation.
	- Updated commit messages according to above changes.

Changes in v2:
	Fixed comments from Russell King:
	- Renamed pwrseq callbacks and corresponding interface functions.
	- Move the call to the previous namned ->power_on() callback, to the
	  end of mmc_power_up() to get consistent behavior.


This is yet another try to solve the issues of dealing with power sequences for
the MMC subsystem. The latest attempt, see link below, took a generic approach
by adding a new top level driver layer. That's was rejected by several reasons.

This time the approach is focused to fix the issues for MMC only.

To give a short background, SOCs may specify a specific MMC power sequence. To
successfully detect an (e)MMC/SD/SDIO card, that power sequence must be followed
while initializing the card.

To be able to handle these SOC specific power sequences, we add a MMC power
sequence interface, which helps the mmc core to deal with such.

A MMC power sequence provider then implements a set of callbacks from the above
mentioned interface. The provider has a corresponding DT compatibility string
and relies on CONFIG_OF to be set to find it's various resourses, like for
example a GPIO reset.

The mmc core will from mmc_of_parse() try find a "mmc-pwrseq" DT node and then
call the corresponding MMC power sequence provider's initialization function.
