Add bindings for the regulators found in the MediaTek MT6316 PMIC,
usually found in board designs using the MT6991 Dimensity 9400 and
on MT8196 Kompanio SoC for Chromebooks.

This chip is fully controlled by SPMI and has multiple variants
providing different phase configurations.

Why do we want a link to v5 here in the git history forever? You've seen
Linus' recent comments on Link usage?


Yes, I've seen that, and I fully agree with him.

That was a mistake and was totally unintentional - I actually wanted to, but then
forgot to, remove the links.

I really have to spend those 5 minutes to configure b4 correctly.

Sorry about that, will fix in v7.

+ The MediaTek MT6316BP/VP PMICs are fully controlled by SPMI interface, both
+ feature four step-down DC/DC (buck) converters, and provides 2+2 Phases,
+ joining Buck 1+2 for the first phase, and Buck 3+4 for the second phase.

+ pmic {
+ regulators {
+ compatible = "mediatek,mt6316b-regulator";

+ regulator-max-microvolt = <965000>;
+ regulator-always-on;

One complete example for the pmic please rather than incomplete child
node examples.


Thanks for making me notice - actually, this example is even wrong... as I
eventually changed the node, but for whatever reason I completely forgot
about updating the binding. UGH.

The MT6316(x) are PMICs themselves, providing only regulators.

I'll come up with a decent example.

Cheers,
Angelo
