Looks good except for one irritating issue:

This makes separate loadable modules out of the driver when CONFIG_IMX_SCU=m,
including the badly named misc.ko and rm.ko modules that might conflict
with other modules of the same name (module names are a global namespace
for modprobe).

The way to make this a single module from four files is

obj-$(CONFIG_IMX_SCU)          += imx-scu-mod.o
imx-scu-mod-y := imx-scu.o misc.o imx-scu-irq.o rm.o imx-scu-soc.o

> +EXPORT_SYMBOL(imx_scu_soc_init);

Consequently, there should not be an EXPORT_SYMBOL here.
