Read/write BCSR registers of PPC460EX

[linuxppc-dev <eftakhar.chowdhury@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to read the BCSR register of my PPC460ex board.But when I load
the module, then I get the "Machine Check Error".

I am not sure if I missed out something.

I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me on this.

I have posted the source code below, as well as the complete message.

Thanks,
efti
