    cros_ec: Support the LDO access method used by spring · f48eaf01

    Add a driver to support the special LDO access used by spring. This is a
    custom method in the cros_ec protocol - it does not use an I2C
    pass-through.
    
    There are two implementation choices:
    
    1. Write a special LDO driver which can talk across the EC. Duplicate all
    the logic from TPS65090 for retrying when the LDO fails to come up.
    
    2. Write a special I2C bus driver which pretends to be a TPS65090 and
    transfers reads and writes using the LDO message.
    
    Either is distasteful. The latter method is chosen since it results in less
    code duplication and a fairly simple (30-line) implementation of the core
    logic.
    
    The crosec 'ldo' subcommand could be removed (since i2c md/mw will work
    instead) but is retained as a convenience.
