[PATCH 2/2] drm/amdgpu/soc15: always load the psp IP module

That still leaves us with the issue that we need the PSP for the GPU 
reset independent if it is used for firmware loading or not.

Additional to that the PSP is present in the hardware no matter if we 
use it or not. So I think we should always at least add it.

Regards,
Christian.
