regulator: dt-bindings: ROHM PMIC state-machine voltages

Browse source 
A few of the ROHM PMICs have a state-machine corrsponding to the SOC
power-states. Idea is that by changing the PMIC state, all power-outputs
will be switched to a pre-defined state. As an example, the SOC may use
a low-power state when system is suspended, and when transitioning  from
the normal operation to suspend, the PMIC can be told to go to
SUSPEND-state - which will then switch outputs of all power-rails to
pre-defined low-power state matching the SOC expectation for SUSPEND.
In addition to the SUSPEND, there are a few other states as well.

The voltage values & enable / disable -states matching the SOC
expectations can be set for the PMIC states using
rohm,dvs-<state>-voltage -properties. It all started with the BD71837
supporting this, but over the years these same properties have been used
for a few other PMICs, and seems like this HW-state machine design is not
going away.

Copying the descriptions and types in each PMIC specific binding, and
discussing them during the reviews is getting tedious for the reviewers
and author(s) alike. Furthermore, having separate descriptions makes it
very easy to add errors, or differing, and even contradicting
documentation for properties with same name.

Avoid these issues by using one common file for the common ROHM PMIC
state-machine definitions and only referencing this from the individual
PMIC bindings.
