SmartReflex fix for erratum ID i724.

Since OMAP's VP and PRM modules do not get reset by warm reset,
we should ensure that proper shutdown procedure is followed prior
to allowing the kernel to reboot back up.
prior to reboot? ?how?

This patch only ensures a proper shutdown if the kernel goes down
cleanly.

How is this handled on reboot?
There is no known solution for watchdog resets(part of the errata WA
limitation) :( - the best we could do was to make shutdown path safe -
this includes s/w (userspace triggered) reboots.
OK, then the changelog needs an update to reflect that.
Just resent patch 04/13 with the update changelog.
