This looks like the wrong approach. What are you trying to do? If you want to
set a clock, please use the clk API.
I can't use the clk API because this function is setting up a clock phase bit for the SD/MMC clock that is used to clock the card, not the IP. This register is located outside the SD/MMC
and the clock manager.

Just to refresh your memory on this topic:
I tried to use the syscon approach that you suggested:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-May/168470.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-May/170423.html

But this approach was rejected by Stephen Warren because we wanted to the SD driver to be automonous
of registers outside its IP:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-August/194014.html

So I went with the approach of exposing a platform API so that the SD/MMC platform specific
code can call it.

The system manager has a plethora of registers that controls other IPs on the SOC, so I kinda thought syscon was the way to go with this. A driver for this IP did not make sense to me.

Please advise if you know of another approach?

Thanks,
Dinh
