The error message in Eric's original email indicates that the 7i43 didnt 
even come out of CPLD reset:

This is in hm2_7i43_reset(), in hm2_7i43.c.

The driver writes address 0x7f7f, writes data 0x5A, then (when the CPLD 
has control) writes address 0x01, writes data 0x00, waits 1 us, writes 
data 0x01, and waits 2 ms.  Then it reads a byte and checks the LSb, if 
it's 1 it emits that error and refuses to go on.

In my experience it indicates total lack of communication with the 7i43.
