Then we disagree.  I've explicitly rejected the patch that adds the mode
dependent index register class stuff.  I believe it is unnecessary and
wrong based on working with GCC for more than 15 years, including on
targets which have similar characteristics as the coldfire.

I've pointed you at a more correct fix.  You can pursue that or some
other approach.
