[PATCH v3 0/5] Binding and driver for gated-fixed-clocks

Rockchip boards with PCIe3 controllers inside the soc (rk3568, rk3588) have
external oscillators on the board to generate the needed 100MHz reference
clock the PCIe3 controller needs.

Often these clock generators need supplies to be enabled to run.

Modelling this clock has taken a number of shapes:
- The rk3568 Rock-3a modelled the generator-regulator as "phy-supply" [0]
&pcie30phy {
phy-supply = <&vcc3v3_pi6c_03>;
status = "okay";
};
which is of course not part of the binding

- On the Rock-5-ITX the supply of the clock generator is controlled by
the same gpio as the regulator supplying the the port connected to the
pcie30x4 controller, so if this controller probes first, both
controllers will just run. But if the pcie30x2 controller probes first
(which has a different supply), the controller will stall at the first
dbi read.

There are other types too, where an 25MHz oscillator supplies a PLL
chip like the diodes,pi6c557 used on Theobroma Jaguar and Tiger boards.

As we established in v1 [1], these are essentially different types, so
this series attempts to solve the first case of "voltage controlled
oscillators" as Stephen called them.

With the discussion in v2, gated-fixed-clock was deemed one possible
nice naming, so I did go with that.
Stephen also suggested reusing more of clk-gpio to not re-implement the
gpio handling wrt. sleeping and non-sleeping gpios.

Though instead of exporting masses of structs and ops, gated-fixed-clock
is quite close to the other gpio-clocks, so I've put it into the clk-gpio
file.

changes in v3:
- rename to gated-fixed-clock (Conor)
- move into clk-gpio
- some tiny cleanups to the existing clk-gpio drivers

changes in v2:
- drop the Diodes PLLs for now, to get the first variant right
- rename stuff to voltage-oscillator / clk_vco as suggested by Stephen
- require vdd-supply in the binding
- enable-gpios stays optional, as they often are tied to vdd-supply
- drop deprecated elements that were left in from the fixed clock binding
