This patch spans 2 subsystems and 2 separate maintainers.. we'll need
Mark's ack for the sound/ change

VA_CSR is the Control-and-Status-Register space of the VA Macro,
the name of the config should deifnitely focus on the heartbeat
pulse clock generator within it instead

Besides, that address space is huge, yet you're claiming it for
a single simple clock. Exposing anything else from within there
in the future will require bindings updates, which are usually a
tough sell. Is there anything else in there that we need to cover
from HLOS?
