From: Martin Sperl <kernel@martin.sperl.org>

The BCM2835 contains 3 auxiliar devices:
* spi1
* spi2
* uart1

All of those 3 devices are enabled/disabled via a shared register,
which is set by default to be disabled.

Access to this register needs to get serialized.

So fter several iterations of discussions with the following idea:
* syscon - device tree should describe HW not drivers to use -
           'compatiblity = "brcm,bcm2835-aux-enable", "syscon";'
           is not acceptable
* regulator - it is not necessarily a regulator or a power gate
              that is implemented in HW, so it is not valid to use
              this framework

The recommendation was made to create a new minimal API in soc
just for access to this shared enable/disable register.

This patch-series implements:
* the bcm2835-auxiliar device enable/disable api in soc.
* the bcm2835-auxiliar spi device driver

The uart1 device driver (ns16550 based) is not implemented so far
but should be using the same API.
