[PATCH v3 0/5] RK3588 and Rock 5B dts additions: thermal, OPP and fan

This enables thermal monitoring and CPU DVFS on RK3588(s), as well as
active cooling on Radxa Rock 5B via the provided PWM fan.

Some RK3588 boards use separate regulators to supply CPUs and their
respective memory interfaces, so this is handled by coupling those
regulators in affected boards' device trees to ensure that their
voltage is adjusted in step.

In this revision of the series I chose to enable TSADC for all boards
at .dtsi level, because:
 - The defaults already in .dtsi should work for all users, given that
   the CRU based resets don't need any out-of-chip components, and
   the CRU vs. PMIC reset is pretty much the only thing a board might
   have to configure / override there
 - The boards that have TSADC_SHUT signal wired to the PMIC reset line
   can still choose to override the reset logic in their .dts. Or stay
   with CRU based resets, as downstream kernels do anyway
 - The on-by-default approach helps ensure thermal protections are in
   place (emergency reset and throttling) for any board even with a
   rudimentary .dts, and thus lets us introduce CPU DVFS with better
   peace of mind

Fan control on Rock 5B has been split into two intervals: let it spin
at the minimum cooling state between 55C and 65C, and then accelerate
if the system crosses the 65C mark - thanks to Dragan for suggesting.
This lets some cooling setups with beefier heatsinks and/or larger
fan fins to stay in the quietest non-zero fan state while still
gaining potential benefits from the airflow it generates, and
possibly avoiding noisy speeds altogether for some workloads.

OPPs help actually scale CPU frequencies up and down for both cooling
and performance - tested on Rock 5B under varied loads. I've split
the patch into two parts: the first containing those OPPs that seem
to be no-regret with general consensus during v1 review [2], while
the second contains OPPs that cause frequency reductions without
accompanying decrease in CPU voltage. There seems to be a slight
performance gain in some workload scenarios when using these, but
previous discussion was inconclusive as to whether they should be
included or not. Having them as separate patches enables easier
comparison and partial reversion if people want to test it under
their workloads, and also enables the first 'no-regret' part to be
merged to -next while the jury is still out on the second one.

Changes in v3:
- Added regulator coupling for EVB1 and QuartzPro64
- Enabled the TSADC for all boards in .dtsi, not just Rock 5B (thanks ChenYu)
- Added comments regarding two passive cooling trips in each zone (thanks Dragan)
- Fixed active cooling map numbering for Radxa Rock 5B (thanks Dragan)
- Dropped Daniel's Acked-by tag from the Rock 5B fan patch, as there's been quite some
  churn there since the version he acknowledged
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240130-rk-dts-additions-v2-0-c6222c4c78df@gmail.com

Changes in v2:
- Dropped the rfkill patch which Heiko has already applied
- Set higher 'polling-delay-passive' (100 instead of 20)
- Name all cooling maps starting from map0 in each respective zone
- Drop 'contribution' properties from passive cooling maps
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240125-rk-dts-additions-v1-0-5879275db36f@gmail.com
