Dear Hector Palacios,
The AUTO_RESTART flag of HW_RTC_PERSISTENT0 register will
power up the chip automatically 180ms after power down.
This bit must be enabled by the boot loader to ensure the
target can start upon hardware reset or watchdog reset
even when powered from a battery.
Currently the function named 'mxs_power_clear_auto_restart()'
is setting this flag although the 'clear' in its name suggest
the opposite.
This patch renames the function to 'mxs_power_set_auto_restart()'
and removes the comment about EVK revision A which was confusing
because the function indeed was setting the flag.
Why? The comment seems fully valid to me.
The comment is confusing for a number of reasons:
- It says for revision A of the EVK the flag must be enabled but the code is common
for all platforms and there is no distinction about the platform where it runs. The
flag must be enabled for any platform.
- The flag is set by the function in any case (except if it is already set) so the
comment superfluous.
- The comment doesn't even say what the problem is on EVK_A or why the setting of the
bit helps.
Unless someone from Freescale elaborates the comment, I would remove it.
At minimum I would move it somewhere else, like to the top of the function, not where
it is now. Maybe Fabio can help.

You're changing the behavior here and it's not documented. I see no point in
this change while at it.
I'm not changing the behavior. I just renamed the function to reflect what the
function does, which is set the flag, not clear it. Apart from the renaming, I didn't
touch a line of real code.
