Those locks are only used for the case where a register might contain
bits for several clocks. Thus RMW operations are protected. On OMAP
this isn't necessary due to a very generous register layout (typically
one 32-bit reg per module) controlling clocks. Seems tha tmaybe this is
not needed for PSC module either?
