Changes in v3:
 - Removed examples from interconnect and regulator bindings
   and kept example node with interconnect and regulator in
   the main DVFSRC binding as suggested
 - Removed 'reg' from interconnect and regulator, removed both
   address and size cells from the main DVFSRC binding as that
   was not really needed
 - Added anyOf-required entries in the regulator binding as it
   doesn't make sense to probe it without any regulator subnode

Changes in v2:
 - Fixed issues with regulator binding about useless quotes and
   wrong binding path (oops)
 - Removed useless 'items' from DVFSRC main binding
 - Allowed address/size cells to DVFSRC main binding to resolve
   validation issues on the regulator and interconnect bindings
 - Changed dvfsrc node name to `system-controller`, as the DVFSRC
   is actually able to control multiple system components.
 - Added a commit to remove mtk-dvfs-regulator.c before adding the
   new, refactored regulator driver


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:

                                      |--- |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....... :-)
