Hi Arnd, Olof,

can you take a quick look at this and provide some feedback regarding
acceptance? It's slightly unorthodox because the only in-tree users of
these functions are built-in drivers and early code, so they don't
technically need to be exported for strictly in-kernel users. However,
we do see these used quite frequently in pre-silicon development and
having these available upstream would help with internal kernel
transitions and so on. We may also see them used more commonly in
upstream drivers in the future.
