I think it should be easy enough to move the function declarations you need out of
mach/pxa3xx.h and mach/pxa27x.h into a file that is shared between the platforms,
and that is included by both. The DT file won't need the register definitions
or a lot of the other things that are provided by mach/pxa3xx.h.
