Are you seeing problems on a real SoC? I'm observing a complete system hang on Exynos4412-based Trats2 board if I try to write this register in resume from system-wide sleep. Note that the board is running under secure firmware, but there is no support for suspend/resume of such boards in mainline yet, so I'm testing on a work in progress (but mostly finished) series that is yet to be sent.
