regulator: sysfs attribute reduction (v2)
Clean up the sysfs interface to regulators by only exposing the
attributes that can be properly displayed. For example: when a
particular regulator method is needed to display the value, only
create that attribute when that method exists.
This cleaned-up interface is much more comprehensible. Most
regulators only support a subset of the possible methods, so
often more than half the attributes would be meaningless. Many
"not defined" values are no longer necessary. (But handling
of out-of-range values still looks a bit iffy.)
Documentation is updated to reflect that few of the attributes
are *always* present, and to briefly explain why a regulator may
not have a given attribute.
This adds object code, about a dozen bytes more than was removed
by the preceding patch, but saves a bunch of per-regulator data
associated with the now-removed attributes. So there's a net
reduction in memory footprint.
