The original behavior: at the start of warm reset, reconfigure the mfp from alt
fn AC97_RESET_n to generic gpio output, driven high.  Then, when warm reset
completes, change the pin back to the ac97 alt fn.  As Igor pointed out, my
patch just reconfigured the pin as an generic output gpio, but did not actually
drive it high.

The unfortunate name and prototype given to the function
pxa27x_assert_ac97reset() by the commit back in 2010 does not help clarify things.

Am *I* missing anything?  I'm still looking into this, but with Igor's suggested
patch, warm reset no longer fails.

Thanks,
Mike
