Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] greybus: Add mikroBUS manifest types

DONOTMERGE

mikroBUS addon boards allow using same mikroBUS connector for a wide
range of peripherals. It is also possible for the addon board not to use
all the pins in mikroBUS socket (marked by NC or Not Connected). This
would require the need to create an almost new overlays for each
permutation of the hardware.

To overcome this, a manifest format based on Greybus manifest
specification was created which allows describing mikroBUS addon boards.
The reason for choosing greybus manifest for the identifier is that so far
we discussed only about physical mikroBUS ports on the board, but we can
also have mikroBUS ports on a remote microcontroller appearing on host
over greybus and there a device tree overlay solution does not work as the
standard identifier mechanism.

The patch introduces 3 new greybus descriptor types:
1. mikrobus-descriptor:
   Is a fixed-length descriptor (12 bytes), and the manifest shall have
   precisely one mikroBUS descriptor. Each byte describes a configuration
   of the corresponding pin on the mikroBUS addon board in a clockwise
   direction starting from the PWM pin omitting power (VCC and ground)
   pins as same as the default state of the pin.
   There are mikroBUS addon boards that use some dedicated SPI, UART, PWM,
   and I2C pins as GPIO pins, so it is necessary to redefine the default
   pin configuration of that pins on the host system. Also, sometimes it is
   required the pull-up on the host pin for correct functionality
2. property-descriptor:
   Are used to pass named properties or named GPIOs to the host. The host
   system uses this information to properly configure specific board
   drivers by passing the properties and GPIO name. There can be multiple
   instances of property descriptors per add-on board manifest.
3. device-descriptor:
   Describes a device on the mikroBUS port. The device descriptor is a
   fixed-length descriptor, and there can be multiple instances of device
   descriptors in an add-on board manifest in cases where the add-on board
   presents more than one device to the host.

New mikroBUS addon boards also sometimes contain a 1-wire EEPROM with
the mikroBUS manifest, thus enabling plug and play support.

I have also created PR to add mikrobus descriptors in Greybus spec and I
think the old PR on manifesto by Vaishnav should also work. However,
both of these repositories seem to be inactive. I am guessing the
greybus mailing list can provide more information on how I should go
about these.

Here is a sample mikroBUS manifest:
