We *do* set bcm1480ht_controller.io_map_base, so pci_iomap() > should work, but without mips_io_port_base, I don't think inb() et al. > will work. there are two hoses on the BCM1480 one is a via the PCI host controller the other one via the hypertransport. set_io_port_base() is an old hack to get inX/outX drivers working. Drivers using in/out will only work for devices on the PCI host controller and will be broken for devies on the HT side. Your change will make the devices on the HT side working, but break the one on the PCI bus. Either way isn't too nice, but at least nobody had a problem with the current behaviour. So it might be better to not apply your patch. Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
