+/*
+ * CSR (control and status registers)
+ *
+ * CSR registers are mapped directly into PCI bus space, and are accessible
+ * whenever platform supplies power to device, even when device is in
+ * low power states due to driver-invoked device resets
+ * (e.g. CSR_RESET_REG_FLAG_SW_RESET) or uCode-driven power-saving modes.
+ *
+ * Use iwl_write32() and iwl_read32() family to access these registers;
+ * these provide simple PCI bus access, without waking up the MAC.
+ * Do not use iwl_write_direct32() family for these registers;
+ * no need to "grab nic access" via CSR_GP_CNTRL_REG_FLAG_MAC_ACCESS_REQ.
+ * The MAC (uCode processor, etc.) does not need to be powered up for accessing
+ * the CSR registers.
+ *
+ * NOTE:  Newer devices using one-time-programmable (OTP) memory
+ *        require device to be awake in order to read this memory
+ *        via CSR_EEPROM and CSR_OTP registers
