Actually, I believe the code you are fixing works before this commit:

    clk: ti: convert to use proper register definition for all accesses


... it attempted to convert all the register accesses to the new format 
and change the size of the clk_omap_reg in bulk but I missed converting 
this one. Previously the size of the clk_omap_reg definition was u32, 
but this was confusing and bug prone so I changed it.

The failing piece of code is only executed for legacy boot mode OMAP3 
right now, which could be potentially stripped out of the kernel already 
(I think Tony removed the support for non-DT boot OMAP3 boards 
already...?) This explains why I didn't notice the issue in my local 
testing either.

So, this patch itself is fine, but the desc should be updated to reflect 
the above somehow.

And the "Fixes:" line should be updated to point to the commit mentioned 
above also.

reg_setup here could be just named as 'reg' as I've done elsewhere.
