That is the correct address for the first TS controller in the system.
Despite the name ("TK25") the TK25 is a TS device and not a TMSCP
device.

No. The TK50 should be at the first TMSCP address which is 172150.
You do not have to (indeed, you can not) set the vector on the M7546
because TMSCP devices are 'programmable' - the kernel will assign
a unique vector to the controller at boot time.
