[PATCH v4 5/5] scsi: ufs: Remove "<name>-fixed-regulator" device tree property

"<name>-fixed-regulator" device tree property can be
safely removed because below things are fixed or resolved,

1. "<name>-max-microamp" becomes optional property: Undefined
   "<name>-max-microamp" will not cause initialization fail if
   "<name>-fixed-regulator" is not defined.

2. Current switching operation (by regulator_set_load) now has rules:
   Regulators will have undefined current limit if
   "<name>-fixed-regulator" is not defined. But this is safe because
   only regulator which has configured current limit from
   "<name>-max-microamp" property is allowed to change its load.

Although "<name>-fixed-regulator" is not used in any dt-bindings
in tree, this patch is still safe for regulators already defined
"<name>-fixed-regulator". To be more clear, if a regulator defined
"<name>-fixed-regulator" before, the behavior difference after
this patch is,

1. "<name>-max-microamp":
   If a regulator defined "<name>-fixed-regulator", it is not necessary
   to define "<name>-max-microamp" property in device tree and it is
   expected to have an undefined current limit, i.e., "max_uA" field
   is zero in struct ufs_vreg. This is exactly the same as patched.

2. "vcc-supply-1p8" or volatge range settings:
   * For vcc, vccq or vccq2, these three regulators shall not define
     "<name>-fixed-regulator" because defining it will lead to
     undefined voltage range and thus voltage switching will be
     unexpected.
   * For other regulators with undefined voltage range, voltage range
     will be still undefined after patched.

Therefore this patch is safe for all existed regulators with
"<name>-fixed-regulator" property already defined.
