Oh my goodness...  :P

If you look at what proc_get_read_addr is, it turns out it's a 32bit
address which is controlled by the user in proc_set_read_reg().  LOL!
Just a giant security hole.

My advise is just delete this dead code.  No one is using it so how
necessary can it be?


Yep, it's dead code as was already mentioned. My plan is to convert all this code to sysfs. One thing I am wondering about should I include these changes into this series?...
