The Kontron sl28cpld is a board management chip providing gpio, pwm, fan
monitoring and an interrupt controller. For now this controller is used on
the Kontron SMARC-sAL28 board. But because of its flexible nature, it
might also be used on other boards in the future. The individual blocks
(like gpio, pwm, etc) are kept intentionally small. The MFD core driver
then instantiates different (or multiple of the same) blocks. It also
provides the register layout so it might be updated in the future without a
device tree change; and support other boards with a different layout or
functionalities.

See also [1] for more information.

This is my first take of a MFD driver. I don't know whether the subsystem
maintainers should only be CCed on the patches which affect the subsystem
or on all patches for this series. I've chosen the latter so you can get a
more complete picture.

I'll take all of the non-ARM patches later this week.
