how to use head_fsl_booke.S:abort to restart

[Haiying Wang]

Ok, I see the problem here. For 8540/60 which has e500 v1 core, it
doesn't use RSTCR to assert HRESET_REQ signal to reset the whole system.
We probably need to add abort() in fsl_rstcr_restart() for those
silicons:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c
b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c
index 2c5388c..c2d07cd 100644
--- a/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c
+++ b/arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_soc.c
@@ -1434,7 +1434,8 @@ void fsl_rstcr_restart(char *cmd)
        if (rstcr)
                /* set reset control register */
                out_be32(rstcr, 0x2);   /* HRESET_REQ */
-
+       else
+               abort();
        while (1) ;
 }
 #endif

I don't have 8540 board to test.
