Hi Matej ,
I looked into the issue and came to the same conclusions as you. Something
significant has changed from 2.6.15rc2 (what the patch was made for) to
2.6.15rc5. I added the initialization of the caps and regs fields of the ehci
structure to the probe function in ehci-au1xxx.c. The driver doesn't crash
anymore but does not work either.
I also tried the Au1xxx OHCI and it hangs while loading the module with rc7.
So it'll probably take some time to port the Au1200 EHCI and OHCI drivers to
2.6.15rc7 (again!).
Any hints on what has changed are appreciated.
Thanks,
Matthias
