xilinx_hwicap driver problems

Steve,
Yes, this fixed that problem.  the following is now printed when
booting the kernel.

[    5.866230] icap icap.0: Xilinx icap port driver
[    5.866401] icap icap.0: ioremap 40200000 to c5000000 with size 10000

The icap is at address 0x40200000 on my system, so that seems correct.

However, when I copy partial bitstreams to the device, I get strange
results.  Here is what I am seeing.

 # mknod /dev/icap c 259 0
# cp opb_prr_0_lin_partial.bit /dev/icap
cp: write error: Bad address
# cp opb_prr_0_lin_partial.bit /dev/icap
[   66.566107] icap icap.0: Failed to open file#
# cp opb_prr_0_lin_partial.bit /dev/icap
#

I know that this file exists in the current directory, and is a
working partial bitstream.

Thanks for the help.
Will
