Adaptive Body Biasing (ABB) modulates transistor bias voltages
dynamically in order to optimize switching speed versus leakage.
Adaptive Body-Bias ldos are present for some voltage domains:
starting with OMAP3630. There are three modes of operation:

* Bypass - the default, it just follows the vdd voltage
* Foward Body-Bias - applies voltage bias to increase transistor
  performance at the cost of power.  Used to operate safely at high
  OPPs.
* Reverse Body-Bias - applies voltage bias to decrease leakage and
  save power.  Used to save power at lower OPPs.

The application of FBB/RBB technique is determined for each unique
device in some process nodes, whereas, they are mandated on other
process nodes.

OMAP5 silicon requires ABB to be properly configured on early boot stage.
The following patch series adds generic ABB configuration and enables
it for OMAP5 silicons.

v02: series contains minor comments fixes.
