I put pr_info() and dump_stack() at every place where PCI_BAR_WIN0 is changed. 
The one place in drivers/bcma/host_pci.c is never called - only the location in 
drivers/bcma/scan.c.

The logged data is

The stack trace is identical for the second entry. It is never remapped, which 
is why it is wrong in brcmsmac.

Question: Don't you need to change the R_REG macro to use bcma? It is still 
doing read{b,w,l} operations, and is not checking the mapping.
