Use a powerpc gdb on the wrapper ELF file, and do "li *0x404c40" and/or 
"i li *0x404c40".

Or use a powerpc addr2line.

Not easily (Format letter "i" is meaningless in "print" command, it 
says...) and there'd be no context about what part of the source code it 
corresponds to...

But this is a 16-bit load from r10, which is from your previous register 
dump is FF0009C0.

Does u-boot on your board put IMMR somewhere other than 0xff000000?  If 
so, you'll need to update the device tree to reflect this.
