Certainly I agree with the goal, and what's here is better than what the
driver does now.  But...

The alleged size of the MMIO region is likely to be quite a bit larger than
the offset of the last real register, and I wouldn't count on the hardware
to not lock up if you try to access something beyond that last register.
So I'd much rather add a MAX_MCAM_REG_OFFSET define to mcam-core.h after
the last register define and test against that.  I can try to toss
something together shortly.

Thanks,

jon
