[nrf fromtree] drivers: power_domain: introduce nrf_gpio_pad_group

Introduce the NRF GPIO Pad Group device driver and binding. The
pad group device represents the GPIO pads (pins), contrary to a
GPIO controller, which is one of the many devices which can be
muxed to pads in the pad group.

The pad group belong to a power domain, which is not neccesarily the
same power domain as devices being muxed to the pads, like GPIO or
UART. If no ACTIVE device is using any of the pads in the pad
group, the pad groups power domain may be SUSPENDED. Before the pad
groups power domain is SUSPENDED, pad config retention must be
enabled to prevent the pads from loosing their state. That's what
this device driver manages. Once retained, the pad configs and
outputs are locked, even when their power domain is SUSPENDED.

+description: |
+  Nordic nRF GPIO pad group.
+
+  The GPIO pad group describes the pads (package
+  pins of the SoC) the GPIO controller manages.
+
+  The pads may be in a different power domain than
+  the GPIO controller, and may require enabling
+  retention to preserve the GPIO configuration if
+  the power domain is suspended.
+
+  The GPIO pad group is a child node of the GPIO
+  controller which manages the the pad group,
+  named pad-group. The pad group's nodelabel is
+  named gpio_pad_group<GPIO number>.
+
+  Example layout:
+
+    gpio0: gpio@938000 {
+            compatible = "nordic,nrf-gpio";
+
+            ...
+
+            gpio_pad_group0: pad-group {
+                    compatible = "nordic,nrf-gpio-pad-group";
+                    power-domains = <&gdpwr_slow_main>;
+                    retain-mask = <0xFFF>;
+            };
+    };
+
+compatible: "nordic,nrf-gpio-pad-group"
