v5 cover poweroff-source DT property renaming

The goal of this serie is to rename the property "poweroff-source" to "system-power-controller". After discussions, it makes more sense to rename back to the old established property name. This patches serie reverts commit a4b4e0461ec5 ("of: Add standard property for poweroff capability").

Changes since v4:
- Renamed the helper function to of_device_is_system_power_controller
- Removed changes in tps65910, as this commit will be removed from the mfd tree
- Updated doc

Changes since v3:
- Move backward compatibility from of_is_system_power_controller to tps65910, as it was only required for this driver.

Changes since v2:
- of_is_system_power_controller is inline in of.h and only supports backward compatibility with device drivers which used this helper (which is tps65910)
- Quashed all changes into a single patch (except documentation)
- Add a separated commit to fix typos and mispellings in documentation

Changes since v1:

- The first patch defines "of_is_system_power_controller" which is compatible with both "vendor,system-power-controller" and "system-power-controller" properties. Also, It keeps the old helper function of_system_has_poweroff_source for source compatibility until everything is renamed (in this way, bisections are not broken and change is made "atomically" between each commit)

Note: the property "poweroff-source" itself is not used in dts files yet. Before this patch tps65910 was broken due to missing backward compatibility with "vendor,system-power-controller". As the old helper uses the new one, it works again.

- act8865 and tps65910 are ported to the new helper function
- The last commit removes the olf helper which was only used for source compatibility

PATCH v5 1/2 of: Rename "poweroff-source" property to "system-power-controller"

It reverts commit a4b4e0461ec5 ("of: Add standard property for poweroff capability"). As discussed on the mailing list, it makes more sense to rename back to the old established property name, without the vendor prefix. Problem being that the word "source" usually tends to be used for inputs and that is out of control of the OS. The poweroff capability is an output which simply turns the system-power off. Also, this property might be used by drivers which power-off the system and power back on subsequent RTC alarms. This seems to suggest to remove "poweroff" from the property name and to choose "system-power-controller" as the more generic name. This patchs adds the required renaming changes and defines an helper function which checks if this property is set.

Let me know if I need to take this series through my tree. Also, does it need to go into v3.18 and be backported to stable? Or just v3.19.

The original change [that is fixed now] is only scheduled for 3.19 and in Mark Brown's tree [0]. So there shouldn't be anything to do for you now.

It's only needed in the regulator tree for 3.19, and does not need to be backported.

We could convert the drivers (and dts) that currently use "<vendor>,system-power-controller" to use the new helper (while maintaining backward compatibility) after 3.19-rc1 is out.

Thanks for your feedbacks. I think that Mark will probably wait until there are more reviews on this serie. (this is exactly what he asked for the previous one)

Yeah, given the amount of often late arriving disagreement I'd rather
let things cook for a while unless there are a lot of people being vocal
about this being what we want to go with.

In other words, I need more reviews and more positives feedbacks about this serie (as far as people who were against the previous ones). For example, Feedbacks from Felipe Balbi and Lucas Stach would be welcome.
