I am not too happy with this because:

 *) We have to remove the second register pair from the PMSU. I haven't
    yet posted the patches on LAKML for SMP on 375 and 38x, but the 375
    doesn't have a PMSU. It however has the same CPU reset control
    registers as 370 and XP. Therefore, these 0x20800 registers have to
    be handled by a separate driver (that uses the reset framework),
    and not handled by the PMSU driver. This way, Armada 370/XP can use
    PMSU+CPU reset, while 375 will only use CPU reset.

 *) I think making the PMSU register start at 0x22100 was a mistake.
    The PMSU registers actually start at 0x22000 and they seem to go all
    the way to 0x23000. So we should have only one register pair. This
    of course raises some backward compatibility questions for the DT.
