That should be ok. The driver will only use valid register offsets in
indirect mode during run time, so register 0x78 should point to a valid
register. If indirect mode is never used by the driver, it will point
to zero with this patch. So register 0x78 will be valid (or zero) in
the kexec'ed kernel.
