PATCH v2 1/1 mx6: Add workaround for ARM errata

From: Fabio Estevam <[email protected]>

Add workaround for the following ARM errata: 743622 and 751472.

The motivation for this change is the following kernel commit 62e4d357a (ARM: 7609/1: disable errata work-arounds which access secure registers), which removes the errata from multiplatform kernel.

Since imx has been converted to multiplatform in the kernel, we need to apply such workaround into the bootloader.

Workaround code has been taken from arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S from 3.7.1 kernel.

Following patch has been proposed into arm kernel mailing list:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg214840.html

Changes since v1:
- Use the same style of the erratum in arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx5/lowlevel_init.S.

i.MX 6Quad_6Dual Errata (Rev 0) TO1.2.pdf says this should be

mrc 15, 0, r1, c15, c0, 1

Since it also says "undocumented Diagnostic Control register" and "c1, c0, 1" is "Auxiliary Control Register" I think c15 is right.

Besides, you had C15 in rev 1.
