Ok, looks like I misread the patch previously. IRIG and DCF registers
are mapped unconditionally for OCP TimeCard. The functions you are
trying to fix are HW-specific functions which you decided to reuse for
your hardware. If your hardware doesn't support this function, you have
to implement your own HW-specific callbacks used in ocp_adva_sma_op
structure. I have to take back my Rb tag, and for this patch it's
definitely NAck.
