The ROHM BD72720 is a new PMIC with 10 BUCk and 11 LDO regulators.

The BD72720 is designed to support using the BUCK10 as a supply for
the LDOs 1 to 4. When the BUCK10 is used for this, it can be set to a
LDON_HEAD mode. In this mode, the BUCK10 voltage can't be controlled by
software, but the voltage is adjusted by PMIC to match the LDO1 .. LDO4
voltages with a given offset. Offset can be 50mV .. 300mV and is
changeable at 50mV steps.

Add 'ldon-head-microvolt' property to denote a board which is designed
to utilize the LDON_HEAD mode.

All other properties are already existing.

Add dt-binding doc for ROHM BD72720 regulators to make it usable.

My bot found errors running 'make dt_binding_check' on your patch:

Nice! I'm not sure if anyone has said it but these bots are helpful :) I forgot the type to ldon-head when switching from -millivolt to -microvolt. I'll address this for the next version.

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

Thanks for including the make -command to the mail! I didn't even know about 'refcheckdocs' target.

Hmm. I suppose this is because the MFD binding is added only later in the series(?) I suppose we can't help it because the MFD binding references the regulator binding as well. So, this is kind of a chicken and egg problem?
