We've been trying to ensure that register accesses to/from a given IP 
block only occur in a driver for that IP block.  So under that principle, 
any System Control Module accesses should go into a System Control Module 
driver.  Then that SCM driver should export (via EXPORT_SYMBOL) a 
higher-level interface to whatever code uses it.  The idea is that this 
interface would remain stable no matter what underlying SoC was in use.

Only thing is, we don't yet have a SCM driver.  Historically, since the 
SCM is tightly coupled with the underlying SoC, when we've needed to do 
something like this in the past, we've added code to 
arch/arm/mach-omap2/control.c.  But that's not really workable now.

Do you know if this register, or something like it, is present on later 
OMAPs?  Also, which bitfields are you planning to use?
