Add support for saving and restoring the 'scan control' register
in the Broadcom iProc mdio mux driver.
Hi Arun

I don't see anything setting this register. So why is it necessary to
save it over suspend/resume?

Hi Andrew
In the Omega SoC (only), this register was defaulted incorrectly (to use
a test mode) by the hardware. So we added the setup of the register to
the early bootloader (ATF).

We still need to restore this register while resuming from sleep.
Hi Arun

It is better to not rely on the bootloader and have the driver do it.
That makes it easier for people to swap to alternative bootloaders.

     Andrew
I will make the change to set the register in the driver.

Thanks
Arun
