Seems like we need a stable tag as well, would you mind adding it in
the next re-spin?

I am not very fond of these kind of declarations/definitions. How
about if we instead move the declaration of debug_regs[] to a separate
line? Moreover, should it be const?

static struct s3cmci_reg debug_regs[] = {

Kind regards
