[PATCH v3 1/4] arm/dts: regulator: Add tps65910 device tree data

This .dtsi file adds a node for every single regulator within the
TPS65910, which in turn means that of_regulator_match() will find a node
for every regulator, and in turn every regulator will be registered. On
some boards, not all of those regulators will be used, and hence we
don't want all of them to be registered.

This isn't the general view for the regualtor API - we generally want
all regulators to be registered in order to allow us to see what's going
on with things even if we've not figured them out from software.

If dtc allowed /include/ inside a node rather than just at the
top-level, that might solve this. Or, #defines to the board .dts could
define the label name, and the .dtsi reference that label name.

I do constantly wish that more of the people churning out DT stuff would
look at the tooling around it :/
