The CRU (Clock and Reset Unit) starts at 0x1800c100, with the
following layout:

CRU Clock Management at 0x1800c100-0x1800c180
CRU Reset at 0x1800c184
CRU Period Sample Clock at 0x1800c188
CRU Interrupt register at 0x1800c18c
CRU MDIO Control at 0x1800c190
CRU GPIO at 0x1800c1c0-0x1800c1e0
CRU SDIO 0x1800c200-0x1800c214
CRU RoboSW Interrupt at 0x1800c280
CRU Straps Control at 0x1800c2a0

The clock driver is already referencing the registers between
0x1800c100-0x1800c180, and the GPIO driver is referencing registers
between 0x1800c1c0-0x1800c1e0.

The reset part of the syscon seems to be the only useful thing in this
block.  Am I approaching this incorrectly?

This is very similar between the NS and NSP (and NS2) platforms.  I'll
verify the layout and see if this can't be "brcm,iproc-cru" or
something similar.

Thanks,
Jon
