[PATCH 03/20] board: ti: j721e: Add resume detection for J721e/J7200

From: "Thomas Richard (TI)" <thomas.richard at bootlin.com>

Add the capability to detect a resume. This overrides the weak
function j7xx_board_is_resuming(void).
To detect the resume, SPL searches a magic value (0xBA) in a register
of PMICA.
This value is set by DM-Firmware during the suspend sequence.
