I noticed that somebody sprinkled a few #ifdef __alpha__ through the
lance driver, to avoid probing for ISA based lance cards. Unless there
is some fundamental reason why bus-master ISA lance cards don't work on
AXP boxes that I am not aware of, these architecture based #ifdef
are not needed (not to mention ugly ;-) and just needlessly stop AXP
people from using these ISA cards.
I would guess that they were added because someone noticed that
the ISA probe would cause the alpha to barf. Well, no wonder, with
lines like:
if ( *((unsigned short *) 0x000f0102) == 0x5048) {
and
int hp_port = ( *((unsigned char *) 0x000f00f1) & 1) ? 0x499 : 0x99;
Rather than use #ifdef __alpha__ it makes more sense to do what I did for
the 3c503 driver to make it alpha safe; that is use readl/readw/readb, i.e:
if (readw(0x000f0102) == 0x5048) {
and
int hp_port = (readl(0x000f00f1) & 1) ? 0x499 : 0x99;
Anyway, assuming that my above analysis is correct, here is a patch.
Otherwise, feel free to ignore my babblings, as I don't have handfuls
of AXP boxes lying about to test my theory on... :-)
Paul.
