OK thanks for that clarification.

It's one of those annoying registers that is sandwiched between the two 
I2C controllers that affects both of them so you kind of need to use it 
whether your using I2C1 or I2C2. For the RTL9300 it'll always be 0x384. 
There is a RTL9310 that appears to have it at a different offset but I'm 
not planning on adding support for that chip any time soon.

If I switch to "reg" for the I2C controller registers as suggested above 
I can just go with a hard coded register value in the driver for the 
global control.
