misc: pmic_esm: Add support for PMIC ESM driver
The ESM (Error Signal Monitor) is used on certain PMIC versions to handle error signals propagating from rest of the system. If these reach the PMIC, it is typically a last resort fatal error which requires a system reset. The ESM driver does the proper configuration for the ESM module to reach this end goal. Initially, only TPS65941 PMIC is supported for this. Signed-off-by: Tero Kristo <t-kristo@ti.com>

+PMIC ESM Binding
+======================
+
+Certain Power Management ICs contain safety handling logic within them,
+allowing automatic reset of the board in case a safety error is signaled.
+For this purpose, ESM (Error Signal Monitor) is implemented within
+the PMIC running its own state machine.
+
+Required properties :
+- compatible : "ti,tps659413-esm"
+
+Example
+=======
+
+&tps659413a {
+ esm: esm {
+ compatible = "ti,tps659413-esm";
+ };
+};
