This series adds support for the MediaTek Dynamic Voltage and Frequency
Scaling Resource Controller (DVFSRC), found on many MediaTek SoCs.

This hardware collects requests from both software and the various remote
processors embededd into the SoC, and decides about a minimum operating
voltage and a minimum DRAM frequency to fulfill those requests, in an
effort to provide the best achievable performance per watt.

Such hardware IP is capable of transparently performing direct register
R/W on all of the DVFSRC-controlled regulators and SoC bandwidth knobs.

Summarizing how the DVFSRC works for Interconnect:

             ICC provider         ICC Nodes
                              ----          ----

             --------                 |--- |IMG |
                                      |     ----
                                      |     ----
                                      |--- |CAM |
                                            ----

...and for regulators, it's simply...
   SMC -> DVFSRC -> Regulator voltage decider -> (vreg) Registers R/W

Please note that this series is based on an old (abandoned) series from
MediaTek [1], and reuses some parts of the code found in that.

Besides, included in this series, there's also a refactoring of the
mtk-dvfsrc-regulator driver, which never got compiled at all, and would
not build anyway because of missing headers and typos: that commit did
not get any Fixes tag because, well, backporting makes no sense at all
as the DVFSRC support - which is critical for that driver to work - is
introduced with *this series*! :-)

P.S.: The DVFSRC regulator is a requirement for the MediaTek UFSHCI
      controller's crypto boost feature, which is already upstream but
      lacking the actual regulator to work....... :-)
