PATCH v4 1/2 ARM: i.MX: allow disabling supervisor protect via DT

The i.MX SoCs allow to setup fine grained access rights to peripherals on the AIPS bus.
This is done via the Peripheral Access Register (PAR) in e.g. the i.MX21 or in later SoC versions the Off-Platform Peripheral Access Control Register (OPACR), e.g. i.MX53.
Under certain circumstances this leads to problems in which bus masters are not granted their access rights to peripherals.
To be able to disable these restrictions on DT platforms, add a helper function that looks for AIPS nodes in the DT and disables them for every compatible node it finds.
The compatible has to be declared in the mach-specific entry file, where this helper function should then be called.

---
Changes since v3:
- use for_each_compatible_node

PATCH v4 2/2 ARM: i.MX53: globally disable supervisor protect

Most peripherals on the i.MX53 have an
Off-Platform Peripheral Access Control Register (OPACR)
in which the access rights (together with the MPROT registers) can be declared. However, this does not seem to work for example for SSI1+SDMA, because the supervisor bit is not set for the SDMA unit.
It does work for SSI2, the QSB for example uses SSI2 for its audio. But SSI2 only works because it does NOT have an OPACR.

The right solution would be to fix the access rights for the SDMA, but the unit responsible for this is the Central Security Unit (CSU), which of course is NOT documented. So, until documentation for this is openly available, turn off the supervisor protection because it cripples the hardware.

The variable is not really necessary, since we can just do:

	imx_aips_allow_unprivileged_access("fsl,imx53-aipstz");

I'm going to fix it up and apply both patches. Let me know if you have concern with that.

I'm okay with that. I don't really have any preference here, so do as you like best.

Thanks,
