This patch series adds support for the MCP47A1 DAC.

The Microchip MCP47A1 is a volatile 6-bit Digital-to-Analog converter
which communicates via I2C. It is a low-power, low-cost DAC commonly
used in embedded systems.

Reasons for adding a new driver:
- Existing Microchip DACs use a more complicated set of commands
  whereas the MCP47A1 communicates via SMBus using only one command.
- The closest Microchip DAC already in the tree - the MCP4725 - uses
  an EEPROM while the MCP47A1 is volatile, meaning that altering
  the driver of the former would worsen the code flow.
- The MCP47A1 maps cleanly to a standard regmap.

The driver was tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 using a breakout board with
the MCP47A1.

The datasheet can be viewed here:

Changes in v2:
- dt-bindings: add slave address enum to dt-binding
- dt-bindings: remove unnecessary example
- move driver from regmap to i2c_smbus_* functions to reduce overhead
- remove read test on probe as it's too unstable
- add 20us delay on startup
- style changes
- remove excess mailing list entry from MAINTAINERS
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
