From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko at linux.intel.com>
There are several places in the kernel where this kind of functionality is
being used. Provide a generic helper for such cases.

[mpellizzer: backported considering missing commit 67dd077239690, and
therefore keeping the attribute 'extern' in the function prototype]
