Add new entry for the OPP which provides information about power
expressed in micro-Watts. It is useful for the Energy Model framework.

I was expecting a much larger change here. Look at how opp-microvolt and
opp-microamp is defined in this file.

Should this value be made per-supply/regulator, just like voltage/current ?

For the EM we need only one value. If there would be some other users
of this field in future we might add the multiple power values support.
Currently there is no need I would say, unless it's a hard requirement
to be aligned with opp-microvolt.

This isn't really up to what the software wants to do (to some level yes it is).
The DT describes the hardware and should do so in an unambiguous way and it
shouldn't be required to update the bindings again and again. It should be done
just once, and in the right way possible.

If the power is actually per-regulator, then it should be present in that form.
The EM can just sum the up later on.
