This is a step backwards in my view.

If you use the "fec_t __iomem *" type for the register
pointer, you simply use &p->fecp->XXX to get the I/O
address of register XXX and that's what you pass to
the appropriate I/O accessor routines.

Now you've made it typeless, and then you have to walk
through all of these contortions to get the offset.

I don't want to apply this, sorry...
