> An hwmod with a 'HWMOD_INIT_NO_IDLE' flag set, is left in
> enabled state by the hwmod framework post the initial setup.
> Once a real user of the device (a driver) tries to enable it
> at a later point, the hwmod framework throws a WARN() about
> the device being already in enabled state.
> 
> Fix this by introducing a new internal flag '_HWMOD_SKIP_ENABLE' to
> identify such devices/hwmods. When the device/hwmod is requested to be
> enabled (the first time) by its driver/user, nothing except the
> mux-enable is needed. The mux data is board specific and is
> unavailable during initial enable() of the device, done by the
> framework as part of setup().
> 
> A good example of a such a device is an UART used as debug console.
> The UART module needs to be kept enabled through the boot, until the
> UART driver takes control of it, for debug prints to appear on
> the console.

Thanks I'll apply this into uart branch so I can pull Kevin's
changes on top of it.
