There are two kinds of conflicts may happen:

1. Different modules use the same register address.
2. Different register addresses are used by the same module (on
different IC).

Type 1. for example:

	#define SPM_BDP_PWR_CON			0x029c /* 2701 */
	#define SPM_AUDIO_PWR_CON		0x029c /* 8173 */

We can resolve this conflict easily, such as define these two register
name to the same register address.

Type 2. for example:

	#define SPM_VDE_PWR_CON			0x0300 /* 6755 */
	#define SPM_VDE_PWR_CON			0x0210 /* 8173 */

We can not reuse the register defines in this case. We may need to name
the registers with its IC name, such as MT8173_SPM_VDE_PWR_CON and
MT6755_VDE_PWR_CON. But it will increase the maintain effort. That's why
I prefer to remove register defines if we implement multiple SoC's
scpsys in a single file.
