That's good news, but let's not fix it this way.

Exporting these will likely cause immediate misuse in other
drivers all over the place.

These should just use either pinctrl-single.c instead for muxing.
Or if they are not mux registers, we do have the syscon mapping
available in omap4.dtsi that pbias-regulator.c is already using.

Laurent, got any better ideas?

Tony
