This patch adds an GPIO LED boot status for IGEP boards.
The GPIO LED used is the red LED0 while the Linux kernel uses the green LED0 as the boot status.
By using different GPIO LEDs, the user can know in which step of the boot process the board currently is.

Do we really need yet another implementation of boot status signalling? I think no.
Please implement this a board specific version of the show_boot_progress() feature (see CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS).
That sounds reasonable. Although, I don't know if there are appropriate check points implemented, but certainly, that is the way to go.
