[PATCH v5 0/2] Add support for ltc2952 poweroff

[Frans Klaver]

This is version 5 of the series that adds support for the ltc2952 powerpath chip.

I haven't gotten any further comments on the previous run, so here's a small update.

This series adds a driver for the LTC2952, an external power control chip, which
signals the OS to shut down. Additionally this driver lets the kernel power
down the board.

This driver was tested with:
  - kernel version 3.15.8, 3.17
  - ARM based processor (TI AM335x series)

v4..v5
  - Remove some unused headers
  - Rephrase documentation to something platform independent
  - Revert some doc changes from v4 (chips -> chip's, must be -> should contain) 
  - Ensure utf8 encoding in ltc2952-poweroff.c

v3..v4:
  - Rename *kill to *poweroff
  - Use managed resources (devm_*) where possible
  - Handle irq failures on trigger gpio as if no trigger input was defined
  - Drop no-op suspend/resume functions
  - Check value before starting timer - it may be possible that the timer fails
    to start on first pass, but starts on second pass. While this is unlikely,
    it will throw off the entire system. Just check the actual gpio value to be
    sure. 
  - Reduce, almost eliminate, use of globals (I dislike them)
  - Fix some style issues
  - Now also tested on v3.17

v2..v3:
  - Allow absence of button input pin (and document that)
  - Fix some whitespace issues
  - Straighten out control flow here and there
  - Get rid of gpio array. This was only used in setup/cleanup cases. It never mattered elsewhere
  - Add some explanation to the commit message that introduces the driver
  - Add other contributors
  - Update RenÃ's e-mail; his Xsens e-mail is no longer valid
  - Now also tested on v3.17-rc7
