Thanks for tracking this issue down! Could you check what "reg" returned
before you applied your patch, and what it is after you applied your patch?

the second parameter to exca_readb() is the address which we read from.
I365_CSCINT is the register at offset 0x05; CSC_ANY isn't a register offset,
but 0x0f ... so you're reading now from a register at offset 0x0f.

Still, something needs to be fixed -- and to do that, it'd be great if you
could tell us the value of "reg" which works, and the value which doesn't.
Then I'll prepare a patch for testing, so that it hopefully not only works
on your system, but also on Jens'.

Best,
	Dominik
