[PATCH v3 1/3] ARM: OMAP1: ams-delta: set up regulator over modem reset GPIO pin

> The Amstrad Delta on-board latch2 bit named MODEM_NRESET, now available
> as a GPIO pin AMS_DELTA_GPIO_PIN_NMODEM_RESET, is used to power up/down
> (bring into/out of a reset state) two distinct on-board devices
> simultaneously: the modem, and the voice codec. As a consequence, that
> bit is, or can be, manipulated concurrently by two drivers, or their
> platform provided hooks.
> 
> Instead of updating those drivers to use the gpiolib API as a new method
> of controlling the MODEM_NRESET pin state, like it was done to other
> drivers accessing latch2 pins, and still being vulnerable to potential
> concurrency conflicts, or trying to solve that sharing issue with a
> custom piece of code, set up a fixed regulator device on top of that
> GPIO pin, with the intention of updating both drivers to manipulate that
> regulator, not the GPIO pin directly.

> Before the ASoC driver is updated and the modem platform data expanded
> with a power management callback for switching its power, the
> ams_delta_latch_write() function, which still provides the old API for
> accessing latch2 functionality from not updated drivers, is modified to
> toggle the regulator instead of the MODEM_NRESET GPIO pin.  A helper
> function provided for balancing the regulator enable/disable operations,
> together with the consumer data needed for tracking the regulator state,
> will be removed once the drivers are updated.

Thanks, applying all three into ams-delta branch.
