those SoCs could be powered by 3 different sources:
- 5V wall
- USB
- battery

I choose the first one as a base, because it's the simplest one.
Unfortunately i don't have the time to implement all of them.

The Freescale downstream kernel (based on 2.6.35) [1] has a driver to
handle all MXS power sources. But i think a clean implementation from
the scratch would be necessary for mainline.

I don't have any problems with fitting the driver to MFD.
