This patch is a prerequisite to adding generic time support for S3C64xx.
It makes possible to differentiate SoCs, required to exclude timers 3 and 4
from PWM driver only on S3C64xx.

Now we have the cpu_is_foo() support for Samsung CPUs can we use that
instead?

Well, I thought about it, but I based my patches on latest stable sources and
cpu_is_s3c64xx wasn't there yet. Should I rebase them to Linus' tree?

I'm not yet fully used to submitting patches here, so things like choosing the
base for patches are sometimes a bit confusing to me and I couldn't find any
guide. Should fixes be based on stable tree and new features implemented on
top of current Linus' tree? Could you give me some advice on this?
