Change the way the omap_bandgap_power is written so that it has only

It's only if there is an unlock or something that you should do
this. Otherwise the pointless bunny hop is misleading and annoying.
Well, if that is the case the Chapter 7 needs to be rewritten, don't you
think? The way it is stated, it is clear that it is a design decision to
use it for keeping only one exit point (quoting):
"Albeit deprecated by some people, the equivalent of the goto statement is
used frequently by compilers in form of the unconditional jump instruction.
The goto statement comes in handy when a function exits from multiple
locations and some common work such as cleanup has to be done.
The rationale is:
- unconditional statements are easier to understand and follow
- nesting is reduced
- errors by not updating individual exit points when making
modifications are prevented
- saves the compiler work to optimize redundant code away ;)"
I believe this patch falls into at least three of the above rationale.

dan carpenter
