PATCH: ncr885e PPC patch look ok to you?

[Michel Lanners]

Hi Jeff,

Still cleaning up, I see?

On  10 Jun, this message from Jeff Garzik echoed through cyberspace:

Looks good to my, AFAIKT. Only potential problem I see is the PCI IO
region access on PPC machines without ISA, where there has to be a
translation applied. But that will probably be only finally resolved in
2.5...

Not that I would call myself a kernel expert, but yes,
pci_enable_device() works correctly on PPC. So you can remove the manual
IO enable.

Cheers

Michel
