[RFC PATCH] mxs: Don't enable 4P2 reg if mx28 is powered only from DCDC_BATT without 5V

mxs_power_enable_4p2() was added to mxs_batt_boot() in
'commit a0f97610757d ("ARM: mxs: Enable DCDC converter for battery boot")'
to enable DCDC converter when board is powered from 5V and has
detected sufficient battery voltage.
This involves enabling 4P2 regulator and there is a code
in mxs_power_enable_4p2() that disables VDDIO, VDDA, VDDD outputs of
the DCDC converter and enables BO for each power rail e.g.

	setbits_le32(&power_regs->hw_power_vddioctrl,
		POWER_VDDIOCTRL_DISABLE_FET | POWER_VDDIOCTRL_PWDN_BRNOUT);

In case the mx28 is powered by the 5V source and linear regulators are
supplying power to the VDDIO, VDDA, VDDD rails there is no issue.

However if the mx28 is powered by the DCDC_BATT source only without 5V,
disabling the DCDC converter outputs causes brownout power down.

The proposed solution is not to call mxs_power_enable_4p2() at all
if the mx28 is powered by the DCDC_BATT source only. There is no
reason to enable 4P2 regulator in this case and setup of all registers
is done in mxs_batt_boot().

Also there is no need to enable 5V brownout in
mxs_power_init() in this case.

Please consider if this is acceptable and I will submit a proper patch.
