Add support for Linear Equal Step mode in pwm regulators on which
specified regulator's minimum and maximum voltages are divided into
specified equal steps. The number of steps must divided the range of
minimum to maximum as well as PWM periods in equal parts.
Add DT property to specify number of steps and its details.
