Well, we seem to have two places with the same code structure.  Let's
pull them together into a common function, such as:

void omap_smc1(u32 fn, u32 arg)
{
	register u32 r12 asm("r12") = fn;
	register u32 r0 asm("r0") = arg;
	asm volatile(
		"str r11, [sp], #-4\n"
		"dsb\n"
		"smc\n"
		"ldr r11, [sp, #4]!"
		: "+r" (r0), "+r" (r12)
		:
		: "r0-r10", "lr", "cc");
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(omap_smc1);

The code there probably may not be Thumb-2 compatible.
