[PATCH v6 0/7] Drivers to support the MCU on QNAP NAS devices

This implements a set of drivers for the MCU used on QNAP NAS devices.

Of course no documentation for the serial protocol is available, so
thankfully QNAP has a tool on their rescue-inird to talk to the MCU and
I found interceptty [0] to listen to what goes over the serial connection.

In general it looks like there are two different generations in general,
an "EC" device and now this "MCU" - referenced in the strings of the
userspace handlers for those devices.

For the MCU "SPEC3" and "SPEC4" are listed which is configured in
the model.conf of the device. When setting the value from SPEC4 to
SPEC3 on my TS433, the supported commands change, but the command
interface stays the same and especially the version command is the
same.

The binding also does not expose any interals of the device that
might change, so hopefully there shouldn't be big roadblocks to
support different devices, apart from possibly adapting the commands.

changes in v6:
- format mcu commands arrays in single lines (Lee)

mfd:
- drop obsolete remain kdoc for the removed
  reply_lock (kernel test robot)


changes in v5:
binding:
- add Conor's Reviewed-by

mfd:
Address comments from Lee
- improve commit message
- improve Kconfig help text
- sort headers alphabetical
- style and spelling improvements
- constants for magic numbers
- drop reply assignment, the mcu only replies to commands sent to it,
  so there should only ever be one command in fligth.

hwmon:
Add Acked-by from Guenter and address some remarks
  - don't allow empty fan subnode
  - use num var directly when getting cooling levels, without using ret
    intermediate
  - use dev_err_probe in thermal init function


changes in v4:
binding:
- move cooling properties into a fan subnode and reference
  fan-common.yaml (Rob)
- dropped Krzysztof's Ack because of this

mfd:
- use correct format-string for size_t (kernel test robot)

input:
- added Dmitry's Ack

hwmon:
- adapted to fan-subnode when reading cooling properties
- dropped Guenter's Ack because of this


changes in v3:
mfd
- use correct power-off priority: default
- constify the cmd-data array in command functions (Dmitry)

leds:
- don't point to temporary buffers for cdev->name (Florian Eckert)

hwmon:
- use clamp_val(), don't try to reimplement (Guenter)
- add Guenter's Ack

input:
address Dmitry's comments
- constify some cmd arrays
- add input-close callback to cancel beep worker
- drop initial input event report


changes in v2:
binding:
- rename to qnap,ts433-mcu.yaml (Krzysztof)
- drop "preserve formatting" indicator (Krzysztof)
- add Krzysztof's Review tag

mfd:
- fix checkpatch --strict CHECKs
- add a MAINTAINERS entry for all qnap-mcu-parts
