Audigy SE / ca0106 driver for PowerPC?

What I really don't know is what the first column in the ranges field does.
I.e. the <42000000>, <02000000>, and <01000000>.

Here is part of current blob I am using:

pci at 8500 {
	linux,phandle = <8500>;
	interrupt-map-mask = <f800 0 0 7>;
	interrupt-map= <
 		/* IDSEL 0x19 AD25*/
		 c800 0 0 1 700 14 8
		 c800 0 0 2 700 15 8
		 c800 0 0 3 700 16 8
		 c800 0 0 4 700 17 8>; > //and a lot more like this
	bus-range = <0 0>; //U-boot modifies this to be <0 2> I think
	ranges = <42000000 0 80000000 80000000 0 10000000
		  02000000 0 90000000 90000000 0 10000000
		  01000000 0 00000000 f0300000 0 00100000>;
	clock-frequency = <3f940aa>;
	#interrupt-cells = <1>;
	#size-cells = <2>;
	#address-cells = <3>;
	reg = <8500 100>;
	compatible = "83xx";
	device_type = "pci";
}

Here are the U-boot #defines I am using at the moment.

#define CFG_PCI_MEM_BASE	0x80000000
#define CFG_PCI_MEM_PHYS	CFG_PCI_MEM_BASE
#define CFG_PCI_MEM_SIZE	0x10000000 /* 256M */
#define CFG_PCI_MMIO_BASE	0x90000000
#define CFG_PCI_MMIO_PHYS	CFG_PCI_MMIO_BASE
#define CFG_PCI_MMIO_SIZE	0x10000000 /* 256M */
#define CFG_PCI_IO_BASE		0x00000000
#define CFG_PCI_IO_PHYS		0xF0300000
#define CFG_PCI_IO_SIZE		0x00100000 /* 1M */
Might need to change PCI_IO_BASE to match PCI_IO_PHYS as well?

That's correct, however both of these will go through ioremap to get  
virtual addresses in the kernel.  For the IO space its done in the  
PCI setup code for the platform, and for MEM space its done by the  
driver.

Ah, this we can debug :)

In arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_32.c enable DEBUG in the file (change the  
#undef DEBUG to #define DEBUG).  At which you'll get some output of  
the form.

Also, you can stick a few printk's in pci_process_bridge_OF_ranges 
().  I'd suggest one before:

	hose->io_base_virt = ioremap(ranges[na+2], size);

That would cause problems if not setup correctly.  Look at  
Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt, however a quick glance  
doesn't seem to cover PCI.

You've given the start addresses for PCI MEM & PCI IO, can you tell  
me the sizes and I can help tell you want the node should look like.
