Without this udelay(1) PCI idsel does not work correctly on the "singleboard" (T-Mobile Surfbox) for the MiniPCI device. The result is that PCI configuration fails and the MiniPCI card is not detected correctly. Instead of PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00 pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x40000000-0x4fffffff] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x1000-0xffff] pci 0000:00:03.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x40000000-0x4000ffff] pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x40010000-0x40010fff] pci 0000:00:00.1: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x40011000-0x40011fff] We see only the CardBus device: PCI host bridge to bus 0000:00 pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x40000000-0x4fffffff] pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [io 0x1000-0xffff] pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x40000000-0x40000fff] pci 0000:00:00.1: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x40001000-0x40001fff] Later the device driver shows this error: ath5k 0000:00:03.0: cannot remap PCI memory region ath5k: probe of 0000:00:03.0 failed with error -5 I assume that the logic chip which usually supresses the signal to the CardBus card has some settling time and without the delay it would still let the Cardbus interfere with the response from the MiniPCI card. What I cannot explain is why this behaviour shows up now and not in earlier kernel versions before. Maybe older PCI code was slower?
