regulator: BD71837 support commonly used feedback connection

The BD71837 buck output voltages are in a few cases scaled using external
connection which adds a pull-up to regulator feedback pin. This connection
will adjust output voltage from regulator in a deterministic way.

Add support for describing this HW connection so that driver can adjust
voltage ranges accordingly.

# Setups where regulator (especially the buck8) output voltage is scaled
# by adding external connection where some other regulator output is
# connected to feedback-pin (over suitable resistors) is getting popular
# amongst users of BD71837. (This allows for example scaling down the
# buck8 voltages to suit lover GPU voltages for projects where buck8 is
# (ab)used to supply power for GPU.
#
# So we allow describing this external connection from DT and scale the
# voltages accordingly. This is what the connection should look like:
#
# |---------------|
# | buck 8 |-------+----->Vout
# | | |
# |---------------| |
# | |
# | |
# +-------+--R2----+
# |
# R1
# |
# V FB-pull-up
#
# Here the buck output is sifted according to formula:
#
# Vout_o = Vo - (Vpu - Vo)*R2/R1
# Linear_step = step_orig*(R1+R2)/R1
#
# where:
# Vout_o is adjusted voltage output at vsel reg value 0
# Vo is original voltage output at vsel reg value 0
# Vpu is the pull-up voltage V FB-pull-up in the picture
# R1 and R2 are resistor values.
