I think this will cause sparse warnings for call_firmware_op(cpu_boot_reg)
if there are no ops defined, since the '0' isn't annotated as __iomem. And
you can't annotate it since the other function pointers don't need it.

I think you might be better off with stub functions as fallbacks instead of
allowing and checking for NULL here.
