Just as a safety matter. Doing this for GPADC PMIC in u-boot avoids
"surprises" latter on - when the high level user wants to use the GPADC
results from the first measurement that he/she does (for example at
safety critical application).

The u-boot driver (as it touches it first) is responsible to give the
TPS65903x PMIC to latter boot stage as free from any known problems
(i.e erratas).
