[PATCH 0/2] Enable DW9714V camera focus coil on SHIFT 6MQ

Implements wiring for:
- SGM2036 linear regulator used by the cci i2c camera module [1]
- Dongwoon 9714V focus coil used by IMX519 camera sensor [2]

Open question for future work: modeling the I2C bus supply.

Like many similar chips, the DW9714 has a single VDD supply, but its I2C
lines go through a level shifter to a 1.8V rail, and there is currently no
place in DT to describe that rail so it gets enabled during I2C access to
the device. As a stopgap, this series models it as an always-on fixed
regulator (see the TODO in the cam_bus_2p8 node).

Direction agreed with Rob Herring and Mark Brown on IRC:

- Modeling the level shifter itself is overkill as long as it is just a
supply; modeling the connector would come first if needed.
- Since each side of the shifter has its own supply, the proper solution
is a generic 'bus-supply' property valid in both the I2C controller and
device nodes.
- Defining it per-device-schema would ideally use an I2C equivalent of
spi-peripheral-props.yaml, which does not exist yet. The pragmatic
interim is to define bus-supply in i2c-controller.yaml for both places
and add 'bus-supply: true' to schemas that need it now (dw9714),
deferring the peripheral-props question until more shared device
properties accumulate.

Once bus-supply exists, the regulator-always-on workaround in this DTS can
be dropped.
