Quick comment on first perusal:  The driver uses the out_be32 macro
directly for accessing registers, which doesn't work if the FB block
is configured for DCR access (like the ML403 reference design).  There
will need to be a property in the platform device binding to determine
how to access registers.

Cheers,
g.
