ARM: EXYNOS: Support cluster power off on exynos5420/5800
Turning off a cluster when all 4 cores of the cluster are powered off saves power significantly. Powering off the A15 L2 alone gives around 100mW in savings. Add support for powering off the A15/A7 clusters on exynos5420/5800. The patch enables specific register bits which ensure that: - cluster L2 will be turned on before the first man is powered up. - last man will be turned off before the cluster L2 is turned off. - core is powered down before powering it up. Remove the exynos_cluster_power_control function completely as we can rely on the above mentioned bits rather than polling the cluster power status register.
