Reposted to include the arch/arm mailing list.

The shmobile series implements its own code for setting the SCU power
register of the ARM MPCore. It uses 32-bit wide access and thus needs
locking as multiple CPUs might access it simultaneously for change. There is
already a small helper function that avoids the overhead by using 8-bit
wide access: As every CPU only accesses its own field we can drop the
lock and use it.
