Ping!

Does anybody of you guys know what the background of those "untouched"
registers is?

That we leak uninitialized memory to userspace is a bit bad.

I don't know the history but wouldn't reading these just read the MMIO registers? Or these are cached and we're reading kernel mem?

It seems sensible to remove them though and the patch looks clean so I'll give an ack-by.

Thanks,
Christian.

Not sure what the original intention was here, but returning a random
piece of
kernel memory to userspace because we didn't set the value at all is
clearly
not a good idea.

This patch disallows reading the register and returns
a proper error code instead.
