[PATCH v2 0/3] bd718x7: Support SNVS low power state

[Matti Vaittinen]

Patch series adding SNVS power state support to ROHM bd718x7 driver.

The SNVS is a low power state used by i.MX family of SoCs. In SNVS
state processor and most of the peripherials are shut off in order
to minimize power consumption.

BD71837 and BD71847 can be configured to use the SNVS state as a
reset/shutdown target state. There is some HW limitations though.
Main limitation is that regulators which have been under SW control
(regarding enable/disable state) will stay shut down after such reset.
Thus if SNVS is used as reset target the control of boot crucial
regulators must be left to HW state machine.

This patch seris adds DT properties for specifying whether to use
SNVS as reset target state and for setting the HW run level
specific voltages.

Changelog v2:
- drop RFC tag
- add handling of SNVS as reset target
- add skipping SW control for critical regulators based on presense
  of regulator-always-on and regulator-boot-on
