Wow, the old code was pretty broken.  Nice find!  Was this found by
code inspection / analysis or were you seeing some actual bug?  I
think it was broken back in March 2013 in (a1ba7a7 ARM: EXYNOS: add a
register base address variable in mct controller driver), so 1.5
years.  The broken code has been running for a long time, but that
doesn't mean that there isn't a subtle issue...

In any case, it seems like we should take this fix, assuming someone
has tested it well.
