That should be <linux/io.h>, actually.

Sorry, I made the driver look for product name "AMILO A1655" but that is
actually the board name. Could you try changing DMI_PRODUCT_NAME to
DMI_BOARD_NAME?

it doesn't know anything about the model-specific blocking behaviour, it
appears to treat it as hard-blocking. But that shouldn't matter if we
