 I have tried the same with the latest kernel both with and without
rt, but with the same end result. I have checked that the mpc52xx fec
driver was changed from 2.6.31 version but I am not able to point
where this error is coming up from and how changing the reg value in
dts (which is not required till previous versions) is solving this.
