All of those Freescale specific events are replaced by GPCv2 power
domain driver that we discussed in another thread. Since regulator
driver for ANADIG sets up all of the voltages manually (or, more
specifically, GPCv2 driver sets them up via regulator API) I didn't
see any reason to use OVERRIDE instead of just ENABLE.

>From reading the RM it seems that main reason for using OVERRIDE as
opposed to ENABLE would be to leverage advanced hardware power
management capabilities of the SoC which I don't think are implemented
in upstream kernel. Do you think there's a use-case for
anatop-override-bit property?

I am going to squash all three patches into a single one.
