commit 12cd43c6ed6da7bf7c5afbd74da6959cda6d056b upstream.
Register B43_MMIO_PSM_PHY_HDR is 16 bit one, so accessing it with 32b
functions isn't safe. On my machine it causes delayed (!) CPU exception:
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 4 Bank 4:
b200000000070f0f
mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 164083803dc

mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check: Processor context corrupt
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal machine check on current CPU
Kernel Offset: 0x0 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range:
0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffff9fffffff)
