Add the core support for the board management controller found on the

- watchdog
- GPIO controller
- PWM controller
- fan sensor
- interrupt controller
At the moment, this controller is used on the Kontron SMARC-sAL28
board.
Please note that the MFD driver is defined as bool in the Kconfig
because the next patch will add interrupt support.

Why not module?
There are users of the interupt lines provided by the interrupt
controller.
For example, the gpio-button driver. If this is compiled into the kernel
(which it is by default in the arm64 defconfig), probing will fail
because
the interrupt is not found. Is there a better way for that? I guess the
same
is true for the GPIO driver.

I didn't find an evidence this is needed.
see below.
No Compile Test?

No evidence of user of this.
I think you meant mod_devicetable.h.
devm_of_platform_populate(), so I need CONFIG_OF, too right?

Drop of_match_ptr(). It has a little sense in this context (depends
OF).
It will have a little sense even if you drop depends OF b/c you will
introduce a compiler warning.
ok
