mfd: p3h2x4x: Add driver for NXP P3H2x4x i3c hub and on-die regulator

This commit adds core MFD support for the NXP P3H2x4x family of multiport
I3C hub devices. These devices connect to a host via I3C/I2C/SMBus and
expose multiple downstream target ports.

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but since this header file defines driver-specific
structures solely intended for the parent and its immediate children, should
it be kept locally in drivers/mfd/ rather than being placed in the global
include/linux/mfd/ directory?
