arm64: dts: amlogic: meson-sm1-odroid: Eliminate Odroid HC4 power glitches during...

Fix issue with Odroid HC4 (and all meson-sm1-odroid) DTS that causes
regulator power to momentarily glitch OFF-ON during boot.  Add
regulator-boot-on to all regulator-fixed and regulator-gpio entries
that (1) define a gpio AND (2) define regulator-always-on.

U-boot powers on devices necessary for boot then hands off the DTB to
the kernel.  During probe, linux drivers/regulator/fixed.c and
gpio-regulator.c both first set the regulator control gpio (that U-boot
already turned ON) to default OFF before then setting it to the defined
(ON) state. This glitches the power to the affected devices, unless
regulator-boot-on is specified with it.  In fact, U-boot has the same
behavior.  So, during reboot, a power glitch can actually happen twice:
once when U-boot reads the DTB and probes the gpio and again when the
kernel reads the DTB and probes the gpio.

Problem this fixes: On the Odroid HC4, power to the SATA ports glitches
during boot and causes some HDDs to do emergency head retract, which
should be avoided.  On the HC4, power glitches to the SD card, USB,
SATA, and HDMI interfaces during boot.  These are all boot devices.
A power glitch can potentially cause a problem for any sensitive devices
during boot.

NOTE: This is not limited to just the HC4, likely an issue with ALL DTS
with regulator-fixed or regulator-gpio entries that (1) define a gpio
AND (2) define regulator-always-on.  All such entries should also
include regulator-boot-on in order to avoid potential power glitches.
At worst, adding regulator-boot-on in such cases is harmless because of
regulator-always-on, and, at best, it eliminates detrimental power
glitches during boot.  So, this is best-practice.
