Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the question, there were multiple problems with the
register size in this description.
It is a bit more complicated because the PMAC is part of the switch and
does not start at an even address.

It is correct that this starts at 0xE10B308, but the size is 0xCF8.

0xe10b300 is unused and 0xe10B304 is used to enable debug modes.

Hauke
