hwmon: Add support for RPi voltage sensor
Currently there is no easy way to detect undervoltage conditions on a remote Raspberry Pi. This hwmon driver retrieves the state of the undervoltage sensor via mailbox interface. The handling based on Noralf's modifications to the downstream firmware driver. In case of an undervoltage condition only an entry is written to the kernel log.
