imx6q restart is broken

[Shawn Guo <shawn.guo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dirk for reporting that imx6q restart (reboot command) is broken.

I tracked down the issue a little bit and found imx6q_restart hangs
on the of_iomap/ioremap call.  The following change, moving the call
somewhere else than imx6q_restart, will just fix the problem.

Does that mean ioremap call is not allowed in platform restart hook?
I'm not sure about that, because I found it works just fine if I build
imx_v6_v7_defconfig with V6 (imx3) platforms excluded (IOW, build a V7
only kernel - imx5 and imx6), which is the case how I tested imx6q
restart feature when I was adding it.

To summarize, the imx6q_restart hangs at ioremap call on a V6 + V7
kernel, while it works fine on a V7 only image.  I need some help to
understand that.

Regards,
Shawn
