The A733 GPIO_POW_MOD_SEL voltage-mode fields are two bits wide on
both controllers (A733 User Manual v1.00, sections 18.14.6.1 and
18.14.7.20). On the main controller, the one-bit
BIAS_VOLTAGE_PIO_POW_MODE_SEL handler writes bit N for bank N, which
is reserved or half of another bank's field.

Starting from the vendor firmware value 0x01155550, a request for PF
with a 1.8 V supply sets bit 5, changing PC from auto (01) to 1.8 V
(11). A request for PK with a 3.3 V supply clears bit 10, changing PF
from auto to 3.3 V. PB is supplied from VCC-IO (A733 Datasheet v1.01,
table 4-5), whose field is at bits 25:24, but a PB request writes
reserved bit 1 instead.

A733 R-PIO has SEL at 0x340 and VAL at 0x348 and nothing at 0x344
(section 18.14.5.2), where the BIAS_VOLTAGE_PIO_POW_MODE_CTL_INV
handler it shares with A523-R writes the A523 control register. That
handler also writes bit N of SEL inverted: for PL with a 3.3 V supply
it sets bit 0, changing PL from 3.3 V (10) to 1.8 V (11).

v7.4-rc1 added A733 support with these handlers, so the writes happen
on the first request of a pin in a bank with a vcc-pX-supply in the
devicetree.

Select BIAS_VOLTAGE_NONE for both A733 controllers and give A733-R its
own descriptor, keeping the A523-R descriptor and behaviour. This
leaves the firmware voltage modes in place, including any that do not
match their supplies. It does not implement voltage switching.

Changes in v2:
- Rebased on v7.4-rc1, which added the A733 pinctrl driver. Only the
  context of the A733 hunk changed.
- Dropped the old base and its prerequisite-patch-id lines.
- Dropped the AI assistance and Assisted-by lines.
- Added Vinicius' Tested-by, from a Cubie A7Z on Linux 7.3-rc6 with his
  local A733 patches, applied with a context adjustment: warm boots
  only, no cold boot, 1.8 V switching or A523.
- Added Fixes tags, manual references and examples of the bits the old
  handlers write.

Andre's RFT [1] fixes the same bug with a two-bit handler and changes
the same A733 line, so only one of the two can be applied. This patch
uses BIAS_VOLTAGE_NONE, as Vinicius recommended in that thread, rather
than an AUTO variant: manual section 18.14.4.6 gives auto as 01, but
as 10 for PC/PE/PK, which the 18.14.6.1 table lists as 3.3 V, and
there is no evidence that 01 is right on every silicon revision. The
cost is that firmware modes that do not match a bank's supply stay as
they are. Andre, if you prefer the AUTO variant, I can rework it.

Tested on v7.4-rc1 on a Cubie A7S with vendor boot firmware (one RAM
boot from cold, then a warm reboot), with A733 CCU v6, AXP318W PMIC v8,
the sunxi IRQ-bank v3 series, the 8250_dw changes, my A733
firmware-clock patch and A7S DT v2 on top. The main and R-PIO
GPIO_POW_MOD_SEL registers (0x02000040, 0x07025340) read 0x01155550
and 0x000aaaaa in both U-Boot and Linux, and the PF selector
(0x02000070) read 1. The PMIC regulators registered over R-I2C0 and
MMC0 reads worked. The readback was taken before the unused-regulator
cleanup.

The main-controller value distinguishes the handlers: MMC0 requests
PF, and this DT gives PF a 1.8 V supply, so the old handler would have
set bit 5 (0x01155570). An unpatched kernel was not booted. The R-PIO
value does not: PL has no vcc-pl-supply in this DT, because PL carries
the PMIC bus, so the R-I2C0 request returns before writing, and the
old handler's write for PM (3.3 V) would set bit 1, which is already
set. Vinicius' test covers R-PIO: he added 3.3 V vcc-pl and vcc-pm
supplies, and also read the registers after the unused-regulator
cleanup.

Also built arm64 defconfig with W=1 (GCC) and the changed objects with
Clang. Not tested: 1.8 V switching, A523.
