The driver stores the PCI resource address into 'unsigned long' variable before calling ioremap() on it. This warrants a kernel oops when the registers are accessed on PPC 44x platforms which (being 32-bit) have PCI memory space mapped beyond 4 GB.
The arch/ppc/ kernel has a fixup in ioremap() that creates an illusion of the PCI memory resources are mapped below 4 GB, but arch/powerpc/ code got rid of this trick, having instead CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT enabled.

This is the same issue as the one that has been recently addressed by commits 3c34ac36ac1084e571ef9b6fb1d6a5b10ccc1fd0 (e1000: Fix for 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources) and c976816b6e901341ec3c4653147316c15549a1c4 (siimage: fix kernel oops on PPC 44x).
