Recent VC4 firmware provides a hardware-independent way to retrieve the
under-voltage sensor on the following Raspberry Pi boards:

- Raspberry Pi 3 B (via GPIO on port expander)
- Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (via PMIC)
TODO:
- try to make bcm2835 firmware a bus driver
Do you actually need a DT binding? From the probe routine in patch 2 it
looks like this capability can be discovered dynamically by asking the
firmware, therefore it might be more straightforward for the firmware
driver itself to probe that and create a child device iff the feature is
present, which the hwmon driver can then bind to as a pure platform driver.

+Raspberry Pi voltage sensor
+---------------------------
+
+The VC4 firmware exposes a mailbox interface that allows the ARM core
+to access the board's voltage sensor.
+
+Required properties :
+- compatible : Should be "raspberrypi,bcm2835-hwmon"
+
+Example:
+
+firmware: firmware-rpi {
+ compatible = "raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware";
+ mboxes = <&mailbox>;
+
+ voltage-sensor {
+ compatible = "raspberrypi,bcm2835-hwmon";
+ };
+};
