Hi!

This series targets the "automatic" state handling of monitors when the
state of the monitored regulator is changed. This is e.g. necessary for
the da9063, which reaches an invalid state (!PWR_OK) if the voltage
monitor is not disabled before the regulator is disabled. The problem
could also be tackled inside of the driver's "state change ops"
(.enable(), .disable(), ...) but I thought it might be a good idea to
have a "common framework" independent of the driver's implementation.

After feedback from Matti, the new approach doesn't disable the monitors
of disabled regulators anymore (except the respective workaround
property is set). Additionally, the core differs between initialization
and "workaround handling" when it comes to -EOPNOTSUPP.

1/13 is temporary implemented by me now and fixes a bug found by Martin
     Fuzzey [1] which can be removed once a follow-up is received.
2/13 introduces a new op to read out the active monitors.
3/13 implements the new op for the da9063.
4/13 implements the new op for the bd718x7 (untested).
5/13 introduces the new "workaround properties".
6/13 ensure that the required regulator ops are implemented.
7/13 find all active regulator monitors the DT is not aware of.
8/13 factors out the existing monitor handling into an own function.
{9,10,11}/13 implements the workaround properties in the core.
12/13 implements mon_disable_reg_disabled for da9063.
13/13 implements mon_disable_reg_set_higher for bd718x7 (untested).

As far as I could tell from the implementations, the other two PMICs
with voltage protection support (max597x, bd9576) don't require
workarounds.

Thanks & best regards,
Benjamin

Changes in v4:
- introduce helper to handle the monitor state according to the workarounds
- split up commits per workaround implementation
- don't disable monitors of disabled regulators anymore
- implement monitor getter for the da9063
- workarounds are now per-monitor instead of "global"
- require defined ops for workarounds
- ensure that active monitoring is known on regulators with workarounds
- re-enable monitors only if they were disabled
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230419-dynamic-vmon-v3-0-4179b586d8a1@skidata.com
