Okay.

All this should go away once we have dynamic linux irq number
assignment. Actually, I should just delete this for now as the pl061
driver doesn't support interrupts yet with DT binding (without platform
data).

It's also a problem with l2x0_init. I'll add a patch to do that.

It will be needed before the clocks are initialized. The clock code is
not using it at the moment as I just did a minimal fixed clock
implementation until the clock api and DT clock bindings gets sorted
out. As there are multiple users, I didn't put it in highbank_clocks_init.

I'm tracking the various clean-ups and we can coordinate the order
things go in. I've already made gpio.h empty for example, so gpio will
fail to compile if enabled in this series.

Or I can just submit a patch deleting this file later. It will just be
dead code and won't conflict.

Yes, sregs are a random collection of functions, so it's going to be a
mixture of various users. Just HB_PWR_* alone are in 2 or 3 different
places.
