I will drop this, although I am not sure it is as self explatonary as 
one thinks. I've seen people getting this wrong because the logic of 
regmap-ranges is kind of reversed. (Eg, read-only is done by adding 
range to wr_tables and not to rd_tables - as a no-range).

Thanks for the review, and rest of the comments just agreed with.
