Hi all,

this patch (2.4.6-ac5) fixed two significant bugs in PnP BIOS enumeration code:
        - pnpbios_build_devlist() doesn't check pnp_bios_get_dev_node() return code
        and always builds device list with approximately 250 bogus entries;
        - pnpid32_to_pnpid() function generates bogus strings instead of PNPxxxx.

Patch tested on my machine using parport_pc module.

BTW why pnpid32_to_pnpid() builds device ID using lovercase chars like PNP0c01,
may be PNP0C01 will be better ?

Best regards.
