[...] Well done Paul, but i have some comments...
first, now that we use find_card instead of find_dev
we loose some automagic compatibility .. i.e. any
sb "compatible" card not listed in the table but
with a know logical device id will not work as before.
second, the "already active thing". This was done
to allow the user to setup manually it's card via
the /proc/isapnp interface.
Obviously the second instance of the driver
will get in the same card. There's no easy solution
to this, but you perfectly know how to solve this:
:-)
Do you remember your patch for multiple detection
in a round? I think it's time to merge it in.
Then you could also take in account
if the card has been initialized by the driver
or not.
There's still the problem with ALS007 type
card which obviously won't work....
btw the card was no more in my -pre3
kernel.. maybe i've removed it by a mistake.. :-/
I also sent a patch to Linus a few hours ago..
but it should apply with some fuzz...sorry.
