Ok. Sorry.

BTW, there are functions like s3c_get_pclk(), and they are much worse
than get_memory_size regarding their portability. Newer S3Cs have
multiple clock domains, so there is more than one PCLK (i.e.,
MSYS-PCLK and HSYS-PCLK). These functions are declared publilc, not
static, in a header file. They all are used in S3C24x0-specific code
only. Should they be renamed like s3c24xx_get_pclk() ? Should some of
them become static?
