platform/x86: Add intel_bytcrc_pwrsrc driver



Add a new driver for the power-, wake- and reset-source functionality
of the Bay Trail (BYT) version of the Crystal Cove PMIC.

The main functionality here is detecting which power-sources (USB /
DC in / battery) are active. This is normally exposed to userspace as
a power_supply class charger device with an online sysfs attribute.

But if a charger is online or not is already exposed on BYT-CRC devices
through either an ACPI AC power_supply device, or through a native driver
for the battery charger chip (e.g. a BQ24292i).

So instead of adding duplicate info under the power_supply class this
driver exports the info through debugfs and likewise adds debugfs files
for the reset- and wake-source info / registers.

Despite this driver only exporting debugfs bits it is still useful to
have this driver because it clears the wake- and reset-source registers
after reading them. Not clearing these can have undesirable side-effects.

Specifically if the WAKESRC register contains 0x01 (wake by powerbutton)
on reboot then the firmware on some tablets turns the reboot into
a poweroff. I guess this may be necessary to make long power-presses turn
into a poweroff somehow?
