[Skiboot] [PATCH] phb4: Reset FIR/NFIR registers before PHB4 probe

The function phb4_probe_stack() resets "ETU Reset Register" to
unfreeze the PHB before it performs mmio access on the PHB. However in
case the FIR/NFIR registers are set while entering this function,
the reset of "ETU Reset Register" wont unfreeze the PHB and it will
remain fenced. This leads to failure during initial CRESET of the PHB
as mmio access is still not enabled and an error message of the form
below is logged:

 PHB#0000[0:0]: Initializing PHB4...
 PHB#0000[0:0]: Default system config: 0xffffffffffffffff
 PHB#0000[0:0]: New system config    : 0xffffffffffffffff
 PHB#0000[0:0]: Initial PHB CRESET is 0xffffffffffffffff
 PHB#0000[0:0]: Waiting for DLP PG reset to complete...
 <snip>
 PHB#0000[0:0]: Timeout waiting for DLP PG reset !
 PHB#0000[0:0]: Initialization failed

This is especially seen happening during the MPIPL flow where SBE
would quiesces and fence the PHB so that it doesn't stomp on the main
memory. However when skiboot enters phb4_probe_stack() after MPIPL,
the FIR/NFIR registers are set forcing PHB to re-enter fence after ETU
reset is done.

So to fix this issue the patch introduces new xscom writes to
phb4_probe_stack() to reset the FIR/NFIR registers before performing
ETU reset to enable mmio access to the PHB.
