This series adds a regulator driver for the Resource Power Manager found in
Qualcomm 8660, 8960 and 8064 based devices.

The RPM driver exposes resources to its child devices, that can be accessed to
implement drivers for the regulators, clocks and bus frequency control that's
owned by the RPM in these devices.

Changes since v2:
  - Fix copy-paste error in dt binding
  - Correct incomplete move from mfd to soc
  - Correct const mistake in regulator driver

Changes since v1:
  - Moved rpm driver to drivers/soc

I'm not sure I follow the motivation for having this under drivers/soc?

Hi Kevin,

I've made the argument that to me this is conceptually a black box
handling regulators, clocks and other stuff; hence similar to a PMIC,
which would fit nicely into drivers/mfd.

I still think this is the case and now that I look back I didn't get
any pushback from Lee Jones so maybe the move was premature?

Bjorn
