But first things first - I finally had enough time to work on the platform
driver code I need for the SMC91C111 driver aka EtherNAT driver for the
Falcon. Here's the patch - I could only test it so far on ARAnyM, meaning
the driver correctly fails to load because the hardware cannot be found.
Christian may be able to build the driver and test on his Falcon before I
get mine set up.
Ah, a clone of drivers/net/smc91x.c. Is 91x going the way of the LANCE? ;-)
One thing that I am not entirely happy about is having the driver resource
registered unconditionally in atari/config.c, regardless whether the
driver is built or not. May I incude autoconf.h in the arch code? The
Thy shall not include autoconf.h ;-)
You mean <linux/config.h>? That one is auto-included these days.
Yes, you can check for CONFIG_* in arch code. But it gets messy with modules
(need to check for CONFIG_*_MODULE, too).
Alternatively, you can put the platform device in the driver. That's
what e.g. drivers/block/floppy.c does.
other one is a kconfig issue - I need to select MMIO either as module or
builtin, depending on how the EtherNAT driver is built. That does not
appear to be automatic yet.
You mean MII? Doesn't `select MII' do the right thing?

(That's what I changed in your other patch).
