Hello
I found out that passing boot parameters to the g_NCR5380-driver didn't
work in the 2.4.x-series. It seems like other drivers might be affected,
too. I don't know if this has been discussed before, or if I'm doing
something completely wrong, but at least this patch of mine fixed the
problem. My solution is actually a simple modification of what I found
in aha152x.c. (It also fixes a very minor problem caused by using a
compile-time parameter, which is probably almost never used.)
I'm not subscribed to the list, so I'd be thankful for being personally
contacted with follow-up on this.
