This is because (at least according to the datasheet) imx21-class SSI
registers end at CCSR_SSI_SRMSK (no SACC{ST,EN,DIS} regs), so
reading them for cache initialization may not be safe.

Also, a "MXC 91221 only" comment before these regs in FSL tree
(drivers/mxc/ssi/registers.h) seems to confirm that these registers
aren't present at least on some SSI (or SoC) models.
