Jeff, Andrew,
The enclosed patch tries to clean the tulip de4x5 driver, and update it to some of the 2.6 APIs :
- Use PCI and EISA probing APIs - Use generic DMA API - Fix DE425 init on the Jensen - Remove de4x5 from Space.c
It's been tested on x86 and Alpha, with a DE425 (21040, EISA), a DE435 (21040, PCI) and a quad DLink (4*21143, PCI).
The major problem with this patch is that, because of the Space.c removal, interfaces get potentially renumbered. This has been discussed to death on lkml, without any obvious solution. IMHO, we'd better remove as many drivers as we can from Space.c before 2.6.0-final ships...
It looks pretty good. My big objection isn't the Space.c stuff but de4x5 itself. I had hoped it would be gone by now :) Oh well, not your fault.
A quick review of the patch looks good, and this is work that has long wanted doing (if de4x5 wasn't simply erased). I'll apply after a more thorough review.
Jeff
