Yes, but this implies that I have to call into platform code to
get the SCU virtual address. The change log seems ok to me, maybe
I have not explained properly the end goal.
I would like to reuse scu_enable when the cluster wakes up from
low-power instead of adding a reset hook, but invalidating caches
(flush_cache_all() in scu_enable) is already catered for in the reset path,
so useless. I will work that out.
I also added an assembly function to programme the SCU power mode
(PATCH 07/17 of this series), since it has to be called from MMU off path.
