Sorry, that was my default response without looking at the code.

This is already broken up into small functions pretty nicely.  You
might want to consider using shorter names.  For example
omap_bandgap_writel() could be changed to "obg_writel()" and "bg_ptr"
could be changed to just "bg" because it's obviously a pointer.
