Isn't this patch harmless?  I'm not adding any code, and there already are
plenty of fields defined in that struct that aren't used anywhere.

The register is for the PAMU driver, which is nowhere near ready for
upstream anyway.  I was hoping to get the this patch in the pipeline ahead
of schedule.

So if you don't mind, I'd like you to consider this patch as-is.
