Apparently it seems tested-by should be provided for both patches. This was
also tested on odroid xu3 and I also have WIP code that depends on this
SMC-based regmap. No issues are observed and behaves as expected.

I no longer see the compilation warning related to struct device_node declared
inside parameter list with v4, I guess one line change addition in exynos-pmu.h
does the job.

Thank you!
