    rockchip: rk3399: use static pointers to regs as they compile to faster code
    
    Quoting an earlier review comment, using static structures pointers in
    the include file "should allow the compiler to optimize accesses
    better than defining it in a separate compilation unit (by being able
    to constant fold stuff like &rk3399_pmusgrf->field into a single
    address, rather than loading the symbol, loading an offset constant
    and adding)".
    
    Any decent compiler linker system nowadays would consolidate this
    definition in any case.
    
    BRANCH=none
    BUG=chrome-os-partner:51537
    TEST=with the rest of the patches applied Kevin successfully boots
         Linux kernel.
