ARM: OMAP4: PM: Warn users about usage of older bootloaders
OMAP4 CHIP level PM works only with newer bootloaders. The dependency on the bootloader comes from the fact that the kernel is missing reset and initialization code for some devices. While the right thing to do is to add reset and init code in the kernel, for some co-processor IP blocks like DSP and IVA it means downloading firmware into each one of them to execute idle instructions. While a feasible solution is worked upon on how such IP blocks can be better handled in the kernel, in the interim, to avoid any further frustration to users testing PM on OMAP4 and finding it broken, warn them about the bootloader being a possible cause.
