Thanks for review.

Well I adopted same approach in V1 of this patch series.

V1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/2/48

So, if we do not have issues with that approach, I think we can map PMU
address
one time and use it for all machine files including pmu.c.
Also I can see that early_syscon patch [1] is not progressing anymore,
so in next version of this series better I remove dependency of early syscon
and usage
of regmap.

Tomasz, It will be good if you can review remaining patches under this
series, specially patch [2].
So that, I can update this series after addressing all comments.
