Yes, absolutely terrific! Thanks Boris.

I'd like you to test with this instead as it's the real range of the IP:
+ reg = <0xfffffc00 0x110>;

Even I'm pretty confident ;-) Can you please do this for us ?

I sent a PR this morning to Arnd with a "fix"... I hope that he won't be
annoyed if I send him another one this evening...  But clearly, it's a
regression and a pretty bad one :-\

Thanks a lot for this report Richard,
