[PATCH RFC 2/6] dt-bindings: hwmon: Add Raspberry Pi voltage sensor

Recent VC4 firmware provides a hardware-independent way to retrieve the
under-voltage sensor on the following Raspberry Pi boards:
  - Raspberry Pi B+ (via GPIO on SoC)
  - Raspberry Pi A+ (via GPIO on SoC)
  - Raspberry Pi 2 B (via GPIO on SoC)
  - Raspberry Pi 3 B (via GPIO on port expander)
  - Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (via PMIC)

TODO:
  - try to make bcm2835 firmware a bus driver

+Raspberry Pi voltage sensor
+---------------------------
+
+The VC4 firmware exposes a mailbox interface that allows the ARM core
+to access the board's voltage sensor.
+
+Required properties :
+- compatible : Should be "raspberrypi,bcm2835-hwmon"
+
+Example:
+
+firmware: firmware-rpi {
+	compatible = "raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware";
+	mboxes = <&mailbox>;
+
+	voltage-sensor {
+		compatible = "raspberrypi,bcm2835-hwmon";
+	};
+};
