I agree, this table show that 4KiB is reserved for fec registers.
But, in paragraph 29.6.1, there is :
"The FEC implementation requires a 1-Kbyte memory map space"
So I've thought that 1 Kbye is enough for the register memory space.

I'm pleased to understand that we're both agree that 16 Kbyte is too large.

If you prefer 4 Kbyte, I'll send a v2 of this patch with this value.
