Ah, OK, I can see what does happen here. You are using:
1) bus->mmio for first core
2) bus->host_embedded for first agent/wrapper

I'm not sure if this is a correct approach. Doing "core_index *
BCMA_CORE_SIZE" comes from ssb, where it was the way to calculate
offset. In case of BCMA we are reading all the info from (E)EPROM,
which also includes addresses of the cores.

IMO you should use core->addr and core->wrap for read/write ops. I
believe this is approach Broadcom decided to use for BCMA, when
designing (E)EPROM.

You should not need bus->host_embedded then, maybe you could even do
not set bus->mmio?
