This will block all refactoring of the PRCMU driver, which Loic
is working on, and also Ulf Hansson's clock driver. It is basically
the key to breaking that driver apart and distributing it out into
the proper subsystems. Loic has a big patch series for that
for next merge window which will then have to be postponed,
or queued on top of the mailbox work when finished.

But maybe it's the right thing to do if the subsystem needs more
work? I have no clear opinion on this, Loic, Ulf?
