Ah, missed that you moved it before the struct addi_board definition.

Hmmm... I think it would be cleaner if you moved the function after separating
this driver from the addi_common.c file. Then the moved functions can be put
into the driver in "cleaner" locations and avoid any forward declaration junk.

The brute force way to do this is just copy the contents of addi_common.c to
the driver and remove the #include. Then you can move the functions from
the hwrdv_apci1564.c file to the driver, and remove them from the boardinfo,
as needed.

Once you get the addi_common.c stuff localized you should fine that much
of it is just NOP code for this driver. Those pieces then just need to be ripped
out.

Have fun...

Hartley
