Can you please try without the broken "u16" and "(i/2)" things (and u32
and i/4)? They really should not be needed, unless something is
_seriously_ broken. The only thing they do is the automatically align the
reference - and quite frankly, it looks like anybody passing an unaligned
register offset is _quite_ buggy.

IOW, it would seem that the real difference is the "__raw_writeb" vs
"writeb". Can you test just that change?

I don't see the difference to your other patch. Did you put in the wrong
patch?
