Add a verify option to driver to print out an error message if a
potential back to back write could cause a clock domain issue.

The comment in patch 3 says the problem doesn't apply to the data
register. Why does this check for these two registers rather than data?
This Verify workaround patch still a work in progress. I'm still
getting more info from the silicon designers on the back-to-back
register writes that are affect. The spew of 0x20 or 0x28 or 0x2c
register writes are all ok locations that don't need to be worked
around. This patch needs to be corrected with the proper register rules
still.
Thanks for testing. Yes, I have work to do on the verify patch above still.

FYI, I applied the series except for this patch, and everything
/appeared/ to work OK for a brief test (boot, log in, reboot). Still,
I'll hold off my Tested-by/acked-by until the comment in patch 3 and the
register list above match, and there's no log spew with everything applied.
