Per Documentation/CodingStyle, chapter 15, "the inline disease", it
might be best to not inline these functions.

What happens if calls to __ccu_write_enable and __ccu_write_disable are
unbalanced? It would be better to catch that case and throw a WARN:

if (WARN_ON(ccu->write_enabled == 0))
return;

if (--ccu->write_enabled > 0)
return;

__ccu_write(ccu, 0, CCU_ACCESS_PASSWORD);

Why u32? An unsigned int will do just nicely here.
