regulator: p3h2x4x: Add driver for on-die regulators in NXP P3H2x4x i3c hub

The NXP P3H2x4x family integrates on-die regulators alongside I3C hub
functionality. This driver registers the regulators using the MFD
framework and exposes them via the regulator subsystem.

[Severity: High]
If regmap_read() fails here, we unlock the mutex and return. 

Since this function is used as the lock guard constructor, the caller is not
aware of the failure. Does this allow the caller to proceed and execute the
guarded critical section without holding the lock?

For example, in p3h2x4x_regulator_enable():

	guard(p3h2x4x_reg)(rdev);
	return regulator_enable_regmap(rdev);

Would regulator_enable_regmap() execute concurrently without the lock if the
initialization read fails?

[Severity: High]
When the lock guard goes out of scope, p3h2x4x_reg_guard_exit() is invoked
unconditionally. 

If we previously hit the regmap_read() error path in the constructor and
already unlocked the mutex, will this second call to mutex_unlock(&priv->lock)
cause a double-unlock?
