This patch broke avr32 console (as seen in today's linux-next) on ATNGW100.
Reverting helps. I'm pretty sure the issue is in 8 bit vs. 32 bit I/O access.

Do you, guys, have that board (NGW100) or it's officially unsupported?
If the latter is the case I would really appreciate if you remove the
support from the kernel side.
