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 state '_HWMOD_STATE_ENABLED_AT_INIT'
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 and a state change to '_HWMOD_STATE_ENABLED'
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.
