Looking at this some more, it doesn't work too well. platsmp.c depends
on CONFIG_SMP, but the SCU mapping is always needed even for !SMP
because the SCU has a power mode register for each core used by the
power controller. So putting it in platsmp.c would add ifdefs.

So I'll move out the lluart mapping, but keep SCU mapping in highbank.c.
