The ethtool_ops .get_regs function attempts to read the nonexistent register NIC_QSET_SQ_0_7_CNM_CHG, which produces a "bus error" type OOPs. Fix by not attempting to read, and removing the definition of, NIC_QSET_SQ_0_7_CNM_CHG. A zero is written into the register dump to keep the layout unchanged.
