    exynos5250: ungate the product ID register
    
    This makes sure that the product ID (PRO_ID) register can be read
    when the OS kernel is figuring out what kind of CPU it's running on.
    
    For historical reference, the original U-Boot code seems to have
    worked basically by accident here. The hardware has a quirk where by
    reading the value before gating the IP block keeps the value
    persistent. U-Boot reads the chip ID early on to distinguish between
    chip family, but we do not mix code the same way so we do not read
    the chip ID. Since the value has been read before the clock gating
    happens, the value remains available for the kernel to use during the
    decompression stage. We don't want to rely on that behavior when using
    coreboot. Instead the kernel should gate unused IPs.
