We deal with tons of bootloaders - each platform tends to have their
own custom bootloaders. kernel should always assume bootloader guys
screw up and it is upto kernel to ensure that it keeps the platform
stable at all points of time. TWL6030 does detect short if any
LDO/SMPS is not connected but switched on. so it is necessary to
ensure on 4460 that VCORE3 and VMEM are completely switched off in
kernel no matter what the heck the bootloader decides to do.
