[PATCH] board: ti: j722s: add processor ACL entry for wkup_r5

On the j722s platform, the DM firmware resets the wkup_r5 core at boot to
enable both of its TCM memories.

This reset sequence involves three steps:
- Acquiring processor ownership of wkup_r5
- Configuring the core and requesting a reset via TIFS
- Releasing ownership.

When the Linux remoteproc driver comes up, it acquires ownership of wkup_r5
to query its state, making A53_2 the new owner.
During system suspend, TIFS saves the processor ACL[1] table to DDR as
part of its context.

On resume, TIFS restores the ACL table, leaving A53_2 as the owner of
wkup_r5. At this point, DM (WKUP_0_R5_0 host[2]) no longer has ownership
and is therefore unable to perform the reset sequence it needs,
causing it to crash.

To fix this, configure the wkup_r5[3] processor with dual ownership:
- WKUP_0_R5_0 (Secure) as primary owner.
- A53_2 (Non-Secure) as secondary owner.
