[PATCH] powerpc: fix invalid pointer usage in ucc_slow_init()

[Timur Tabi]

In two places, ucc_slow_init() passes a physical address instead of the
virtual address to functions that were expecting the latter, causing a kernel
panic.  us_info->regs contains the physical address of the UCC register set.
The registers are ioremap'd to kernel space, and the virtual pointers are
stored in us_regs.  The code was using us_info->regs when it should have been
using us_regs.

It's my understanding that there aren't any in kernel users of  
ucc_slow at the moment, is that true?

Yes.  I'm working on the first - a UART driver.

Ok, I'll pull it into my tree for 2.6.22 then.
