It does seem like the secure logic is specific to the OMAP, even though
the GP part (omap3_gp_romcode_call) seems to be generic.

I don't think it would fit well in common v7 code and overall, I don't
think I have sufficient knowledge of those issues to take the decision
to move that code around.

Hence, I'll keep my proposal to what it is now, and let someone else
move the code around in the future if they feel the need to.
