[PATCH 1/5] regulator: dt-bindings: Add regulator-boot-force-off property

[Paul Louvel]

Introduce a new property to immediately disable the regulator at boot
time.
This property is useful when a consumer device may query the state of
the regulator at boot time, and want to disable it right away, without a
prior regulator_enable().

       It's expected that this regulator was left on by the bootloader.
