[PATCH v1 0/4] General regulator and pmic uclass improvements

[Svyatoslav Ryhel]

This patchset derives from discussion of TPS65913 bringup and aims to
cycle all regulator management inside uclass removing need of any board
calls for regulators.

My hw setup is Tegra 3 LG Optimus Vu P895 (PMIC is MAX77663) with native
spl u-boot build.

power: regulator: expand basic reference counter onto all uclass
Commit is basically expansion of 4fcba5d ("regulator: implement basic
reference counter") onto all regulators.
 - my testing on hw has shown no issues so far with both pmic regulators
 and fixed regulators. Counting works as expected.

power: regulator-uclass: perform regulator setup inside uclass
All self-sufficient regulators are set to probe after bind to perform
initial setup later in post-probe with pdata from device tree.
 - self-sufficient regulator is one that is not dependent on any other
 device (this category does not include pmic regulators for example).
 I have tested fixed regulators and got correct probing and setup
 according to device tree.

power: pmic-uclass: probe every child on pmic_post_probe
All non self-sufficient regulators must be probed after main device is
probed (in this case it is pmic_post_probe). In all other aspects pmic
regulators behave same.
 - tested with MAX77663 ldo and sd regulators, no errors or inconsistencies
 were tracked, regulator props (boot-on, always-on etc) and consumer calls
 work as expected.

power: regulator-uclass: remove all deprecated API use
This is where everything gets tricky. All board dedicated API of regulators
has to be removed. System presented above should cover all regulators setup
but non the less this should be disscussed with maintainers and tested on
affected boards. This commit removes and cleans most of those API traces,
except tests, I am still a bit confused how to setup testing since this is
interference into framework itself.
