In in PMU document(Document/devicetree/bindgins/arm/samsung/pmu.txt),
"samsung,exynos3250-pmu" compatible string had been added.

So I add this compatible in driver.

Exynos3250 PMU_DEBUG register is same with Exynos4. So I just use exynos4_clkout_init function.
But, on second thought, It looks good to add exynos3_clkout_init function for Exynos3 SoC even though it's the same with exynos4_clkout_init.

what is your opinion?
