[PATCH 1/2] usb: bcma: control VBUS via a regulator instead of a GPIO

bcma-hcd drives the USB power line by grabbing the undocumented
"vcc-gpio" from the controller node and poking it through gpiolib.
Besides relying on a non-standard binding, this cannot work on boards
such as the NETGEAR R7000 and R8000 where one chipcommon GPIO powers
both the USB2 and USB3 cores: the two controllers each request that
GPIO exclusively, so the second one fails with -EBUSY and its port
stays dead.

Use the standard regulator interface instead. Each core obtains its
(shared) VBUS supply through devm_regulator_get_optional() and the
regulator core reference-counts the enable/disable requests, allowing
both controllers to drive one GPIO without conflicts.
