[PATCH 3/4] amba: support masking data abort during identification

Registration of an AMBA device requires reading its pid and cid
registers after turning on the device. This is the first I/O done to the
device and may end up crashing if the device tree doesn't describe
the correct clock and power domains or if a previous boot stage
should've enabled them, but didn't.
This is not a likely issue, but when it happens it crashes the system
annoyingly early during device tree populating.
Add a symbol that masks the data abort exception around the
identification code to turn the crash into an error message instead.

+ Registration of an AMBA device requires reading its pid and cid
+ registers after turning on the device, which can involve enabling
+ clocks, deasserting resets and powering on power domains.
+ In some cases, these resources are not available to barebox running
+ in the normal world and thus need to be setup by a previous
+ stage bootloader running in the secure world.
+ If such setup doesn't happen, accessing devices may lead to
+ a data abort or complete system hang.
+
+ As a workaround for the former case, this option can be enabled
+ to gracefully handle data aborts during readout of the PID/CID
+ registers. The proper solution is fixing your first stage
+ bootloader or allow barebox access to the missing resources.
