[PATCH v9 0/6] Add VIM4 MCU/FAN support

[Ronald Claveau via B4 Relay <devnull+linux-kernel-dev.aliel.fr@kernel.org>]

The Khadas VIM4 board features a different MCU variant compared to
previous VIM boards.
While it shares the same I2C-based communication model,
it differs in some ways:

  - A distinct register map with its own volatile/writeable register set
  - A fan control with 0–100 levels instead of the 0–3 levels previously
  - A fan power supply gated through a regulator

This series adds support for this new variant by:

  1. Refactoring the khadas-mcu MFD driver to use per-variant data
     structures (regmap config, cells, fan platform data),
     and adding the khadas,vim4-mcu compatible string.

  2. Extending the fan thermal driver to retrieve the fan register
     and maximum level from platform_data,
     and to optionally manage a power regulator for the fan supply.

  3. Adding the corresponding DTS node for the VIM4, wiring the MCU to
     the I2C AO_A bus and exposing it as a thermal cooling device.

Changes in v9:
- Rebased on next-20260731 (patches 1/8, 2/8 and 6/8 already applied, dropped from this series).
- PATCH 1: Add levels table and nlevels in khadas_mcu_fan_pdata struct.
- PATCH 2: Use MFD_CELL_* macros instead of open-coding mfd_cell.
- PATCH 3: Provide levels table and nlevels to platform data.
           Check match_data before the switch.
- PATCH 4: Use levels[] and nlevels from platform data. VIM4 levels is (0, 30, 40, 55, 75, 100).

Changes in v8:
- PATCH 4: Define constant for fan max level, remove extra space for unnecessary alignment.
           Thanks to Lee's review.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260603-add-mcu-fan-khadas-vim4-v7-0-594ba8a965d8@aliel.fr

Changes in v7:
- PATCH 3-4: Simplify the per-variant handling by using local variables in khadas_mcu_probe()
             instead of introducing a dedicated data structure. Thanks to Lee's review.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260516-add-mcu-fan-khadas-vim4-v6-0-cccc9b61f465@aliel.fr

Changes in v6:
- PATCH 4: Address Lee's review comments:
  - Use an enum to discriminate between MCU types instead of passing
    MFD data through the DT match table
  - Fix error code from -EINVAL to -ENODEV when no MCU type is matched
  - Make khadas_mcu_fan_cells and khadas_mcu_cells const
  - Use dev_err_probe() for regmap initialization error
  - Document fan speed levels for max_level
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260424-add-mcu-fan-khadas-vim4-v5-0-afcfa7157b23@aliel.fr

Changes in v5:
- PATCH 5: Replace devm_regulator_get_optional() with devm_regulator_get()
           to simplify error handling and remove NULL checks, also
           ordering as reverse christmas according to Neil's feedback.

Changes in v4:
- PATCH 1: limit fan-supply property by compatible according to Conor's feedback.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260417-add-mcu-fan-khadas-vim4-v3-0-a6a7f570b11b@aliel.fr

Changes in v3:
- PATCH 1: adding comment on vim4 compatible saying it is not discoverable,
           thanks to Rob's and Neil's feedback.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260403-add-mcu-fan-khadas-vim4-v2-0-70536b22439a@aliel.fr

Changes in v2:
- PATCH 5: Add regulator_disable on suspend thanks to Neil's feedback.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260402-add-mcu-fan-khadas-vim4-v1-0-2b12eb4ac7b0@aliel.fr
