Actually, you are getting an error.  That EDVR should really be an EARG, =
you=20
are apparently trying to do an interface clear on a device instead of a b=

Are you sure your base address and irq are correct?  It could also be som=
e=20
problem with your device, it is timing out while trying to send the comma=
