The driver erroneously "lets go" the mate IDE chip in init_setup_pdc20270()

useless assignments in this function while at it...

This patch is against the current Linus' tree, it has only been compile tested
since I do not have PDC2027x chips (and even less so behind DC21150 bridge :-).

Seems to be gcc problem

   No, it must be all those pills I'm taking... ;-)

but I reverted this chunk.

And you were absolutely right -- findev must be NULL for the search to go thru all the PCI devices. :-/

Update: after applying patch #2/2 and fixing the reject caused by the above change
warning disappears (patch #2/2 besides renaming "findev" to "dev2" moves the code
around making it easier for gcc to deduce what is going on :).

Right, because pci_get_slot() is not a "device scanner" and so doesn't need the starting node.
   I guess there's no need to recast now?

WBR, Sergei
