Devices on the Intel Lynxpoint Low Power Subsystem (LPSS) have some
common features that aren't shared with any other platform devices,
including the clock and LTR (Latency Tolerance Reporting) registers.
It is better to handle those features in common code than to bother
device drivers with doing that (I/O functionality-wise the LPSS
devices are generally compatible with other devices that don't
have those special registers and may be handled by the same drivers).

The clock registers of the LPSS devices are now taken care of by
the special clk-x86-lpss driver, but the MMIO mappings used for
accessing those registers can also be used for accessing the LTR
registers on those devices (LTR support for the Lynxpoint LPSS is
going to be added by a subsequent patch).  Thus it is convenient
to add a special ACPI scan handler for the Lynxpoint LPSS devices
that will create the MMIO mappings for accessing the clock (and
LTR in the future) registers...
