Disregard this patch.  I'll drop it based on Nikolaus' comments below.

I didn't read the technical details, I just read there was a bandgap
logic, so I assumed it existed.

Thanks for looking into this.

I will try to read this register when I have some time, but I have to
watch Chelsea FC play in 15 minutes.  ;-)

I think it's probably best to abandon this patch, per my comment based
on all your comments.

I'll drop this, and leave everything in the omap3-cpu-thermal file and
let omap34xx and omap36xx point to them as we do now.
