Now that bugzilla is back up, we can see that no, it did not improve
things:
| From Dominik Brodowski
|
| test patch to use ISA IRQs also for CardBus
|

if

|
| From Thomas Nemeth
|
| Boot messages for 2.6.34-rc2 with applied patch
|
| No slot worked :(
There was a workaround. Changing the righthand side of
socket->cb_irq = dev->irq;
to 11 in yenta_probe() caused the card to be recognized. Putting it slot 0
afterwards even made it work as a network card.
Unfortunately there is no DMI info to apply this workaround automatically.
Dominik's conclusion:
| The problem isn't detecting the IRQ -- we can use ISA IRQ 3 (as 2.2.xx did) or
| ISA IRQ 9 and 10 (as the patch in comment #86 did).
|
| The problem is setting up the bridge so that it routes CSC (card status
change)
| IRQs for CardBus and 16bit cards to the ISA IRQ and also card IRQs for CardBus
| and 16bit cards to the ISA IRQ. This seems to be impossible on the ToPIC97.
|
| However, 2.2. seems to do some "polling" to get the IRQs right. I.e., it isn't
| really using the IRQs, but polls whether an IRQ occured. That seems necessary
| at least or the CSC interrupt.
Results from a newer kernel would still be interesting, but I'm not
optimistic about the possibility of there being a fix already upstream
any more.
