This was introduced between 3.4 and 3,5 with:

commit eb92044eb3d59d29c9812e85e3a4bf41f6f38e3a
Author: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@...gutronix.de>
Date:   Tue Apr 3 12:42:27 2012 +0200

    ARM i.MX3: Make ccm base address a variable
    
    Instead of having a cpu_is_* in each ccm register access it
    is more efficient to make it a variable.
