I'm taking the minimal fix here, using the correct pointer by pointing 'mem_end' to the last byte inside of the register area as all other WAN drivers do, rather than the first byte outside of it. An alternative would be to just remove the mem_end member entirely. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
