[PATCH v8 05/10] regulator: IRQ based event/error notification helpers

[Matti Vaittinen]

Provide helper function for IC's implementing regulator notifications
when an IRQ fires. The helper also works for IRQs which can not be acked.
Helper can be set to disable the IRQ at handler and then re-enabling it
on delayed work later. The helper also adds regulator_get_error_flags()
errors in cache for the duration of IRQ disabling.

v8 onwards:
 - No changes since v7
v7 (mostly more fixes pointed by Andy)
 - fix regulator error_flags query
 - grammar/typos
 - do not BUG() but attempt to shut-down the system
 - use BITS_PER_TYPE()
v6 (fix issues noted by Andy):
 - remove unnecessary variable
 - use BIT(foo) instead of 1 << foo
 - use devm_add_action_or_reset()
 - do not check the irq parameter validity, leave that to
   request_threaded_irq()
 - put resource-managed function in devres.c
 - fix the kerneldocs for the new IRQ helpers
v5:
 - fix the pr_emerg print
v4:
 - Comment block styling
 - Added prints to point the potential HW failure before BUG()
 - Corrected typo from kerneldoc
 - added missing newlines

+ *		if time is not specified.
+ * @irq_off_ms:	The time which IRQ is kept disabled before re-evaluating the
+ *		status for devices which keep IRQ disabled for duration of the
+ *		error. If this is not given the IRQ is left enabled and renable
+ *		is not called.
+ * @skip_off:	If set to true the IRQ handler will attempt to check if any of
+ *		the associated regulators are enabled prior to taking other
+ *		actions. If no regulators are enabled and this is set to true
+ *		a spurious IRQ is assumed and IRQ_NONE is returned.

+ * @data:	Driver private data pointer which will be passed as such to
+ *		the renable, map_event and die callbacks in regulator_irq_data.
+ * @die:	Protection callback. If IC status reading or recovery actions
+ *		fail fatal_cnt times this callback or BUG() is called. This
+ *		callback should implement a final protection attempt like
+ *		disabling the regulator. If protection succeeded this may
+ *		return 0. If anything else is returned the core assumes final
+ *		protection failed and calls BUG() as a last resort.
+ * @map_event:	Driver callback to map IRQ status into regulator devices with
+ *		events / errors. NOTE: callback MUST initialize both the
+ *		errors and notifs for all rdevs which it signals having
+ *		active events as core does not clean the map data.
+ *		REGULATOR_FAILED_RETRY can be returned to indicate that the
+ *		status reading from IC failed. If this is repeated for
+ *		fatal_cnt times the core will call die() callback or BUG()
+ *		as a last resort to protect the HW.
+ * @renable:	Optional callback to check status (if HW supports that) before
+ *		re-enabling IRQ. If implemented this should clear the error
+ *		flags so that errors fetched by regulator_get_error_flags()
+ *		are updated. If callback is not implemented then errors are
+ *		assumed to be cleared and IRQ is re-enabled.
+ *		REGULATOR_FAILED_RETRY can be returned to
+ *		indicate that the status reading from IC failed. If this is
+ *		repeated for 'fatal_cnt' times the core will call die()
+ *		callback or BUG() as a last resort to protect the HW.
+ *		Returning zero indicates that the problem in HW has been solved
+ *		and IRQ will be re-enabled. Returning REGULATOR_ERROR_ON
+ *		indicates the error condition is still active and keeps IRQ
+ *		disabled. Please note that returning REGULATOR_ERROR_ON does
+ *		not retrigger evaluating what events are active or resending
