L2 registers are accessed using a select register and data
register pair. To prevent multiple concurrent writes to the
select register by independent drivers, the write to the
select register and the associated access of the data register
are protected with a lock. All drivers accessing the L2
registers use the set and get functions provided by
l2-accessors to ensure correct reads and writes to L2 registers.
As of this series, this is only used by the PMU driver. Which other
drivers do you plan to use this for?

If there's nothing else planned at the moment, it would be nicer to fold
these into the PMU driver.

Which chips have this?

Have drivers select this as necessary. There's no reason for this to be
used-selectable given this is trivial common infrastructure.

[...]
+#include <linux/spinlock.h>
+#include <linux/export.h>
+#include <linux/soc/qcom/l2-accessors.h>
+#include <asm/cputype.h>
+#include <asm/sysreg.h>
Nit: please sort these alphabetically.

[...]
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(set_l2_indirect_reg);
The PMU driver isn't a module, so this doesn't need to be exported.
Until there's a modular user, please get rid of EXPORT_SYMBOL.
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(get_l2_indirect_reg);
Likewise.

Thanks,
Mark.
