Thanks for the suggestion, This is a bug in the firmware which is 
restricting access to this register. We have been working around this 
bug for more than 2 years due to this. Now this platform support is in 
mainline and We/I have no hope that this will be fixed in near future 
atleast for this platform.

I will try to come up with a Quirk specific for this SoC.

thanks,
