Akshay Saraswat ac0d98cd55 Exynos542x: CPU: Power down all secondary cores
This patch adds code to shutdown secondary cores.
When U-boot comes up, all secondary cores appear powered on,
which is undesirable and causes side effects while
initializing these cores in kernel.

Secondary core power down happens in following steps:

Step-1: After Exynos power-on, primary core starts executing first.
Step-2: In iROM code every core has to check 2 flags i.e.
	addresses 0x02020028 & 0x02020004.
Step-3: Initially 0x02020028 is 0 for all cores and 0x02020004 has a
	jump address for primary core and 0 for all secondary cores.
Step-4: Therefore, primary core follows normal iROM execution and jumps
	to BL1 eventually, whereas all secondary cores enter WFE.
Step-5: When primary core comes into function secondary_cores_configure,
	it puts pointer to function power_down_core into 0x02020004
	and provides DSB and SEV for all cores so that they may come out
	of WFE and jump to power_down_core function.
Step-6: And ultimately because of power_down_core all
	secondary cores shut-down.
