Exynos542x: Make A7s boot with thumb-mode U-Boot on warm reset 

On warm reset, all cores jump to the low_power_start function because iRAM
data is retained and because while executing iROM code all cores find
the jump flag 0x02020028 set. In low_power_start, cores check the reset
status and if true they clear the jump flag and jump back to 0x0.

The A7 cores do jump to 0x0 but consider following instructions as a Thumb
instructions which in turn makes them loop inside the iROM code instead of
jumping to power_down_core.

This issue is fixed by replacing the "mov pc" instruction with a "bx"
instruction which switches state along with the jump to make the execution
unit consider the branch target as an ARM instruction.
