[PATCH] OMAP: hwmod: add kernel cmdline flag to avoid resetting IP blocks during init

[Paul Walmsley <paul@pwsan.com>]

On some boards, it's not possible to reset certain IP blocks during
kernel initialization.  Some boards connect GPIO lines to external
voltage controllers, so resetting them may cause voltage to drop on a
critical supply[1].  Other boards connect GPIO lines to reset pins on
external devices without open documentation, so if the GPIO blocks are
reset, the external devices cannot currently be reconfigured[2].

The correct way to fix these issues on OMAP is to add a
hwmod_no_setup_reset(hwmod) call to the board file, that references
the IP block that must preserve its state.  This allows the OMAP core
code to reset the remaining IP blocks.

However, during initial bring-up of a new board, it may be desirable
to not reset any IP block, for ease of debugging.  This patch adds a
kernel command line parameter, 'hwmod_no_setup_reset', that prevents
the OMAP hwmod code from resetting any IP block during init.
