I looked at DM6467 and it's the same as OMAPL13x, except at a different
address. Rather than a callback, it could be just an address in the
platform data.

Yes, I like this idea - much cleaner. For example, the start() method
becomes (pseudo-code):

start()
{
    /* bootaddrreg derived from platform data */
    bootaddrreg = boot_address;

    clk_enable();
}

Referring to your patch above, would it be better to just pass
the flags into the davinci_psc_config() function rather than breaking out more
arguments for each flag?
