I will use git-send-email next time to avoid these issues

Sorry about that. I will be careful in future.

400GP/GX have a slightly different register layout. I plan to make a separate
patch adding the defines and the changes in a separate patch.

I plan to make a cleanup patch soon. Felt it was appropriate to separate them.

That is right. I want to send a separate patch for the same.

Also could you please let me know whether you applied the patch. Sorry for the line wrap issues - I will use git-send-email next time.
