411341c939SSumant Patroi.	New template defined to represent each family of controllers (identified by processor used).
421341c939SSumant Patro	The template will have defintions that will be initialised to appropritae values for a specific family of controllers. The template definition has four function pointers. During driver initialisation the function pointers will be set based on the controller family type. This change is done to support new controllers that has different processors and thus different register set.
