[U-Boot] [PATCH] imx: save reset cause in 'reset_cause' environment variable

The cause of a reset is generally useful, and shouldn't be
blindly cleared in the process of displaying it as a part
of the boot announcement.

Stash the string representation in the environment variable
"reset_cause".

The value is stored in hex, and the values may vary with
new silicon. As of this reading the following bitfields
are common to at least i.MX5 and i.MX6 processors:

	bit	meaning
	---	-------
	 0	reset pin or power-on
	 2	reset from csu_reset_b input
	 3	reset from ipp_user_reset_b
	 4	watchdog reset
	 5	JTAG High-Z requested reset
	 6	JTAG software reset
	 16	Warm boot: result of a software initiated boot
