no, there is not.
Actualy, I was looking at __request_region after I sent the previous
message.
What'd be the proper way to fix request_region for no dynamic bus
sizing platform? use #ifdef in linux/ioport.h and call
__request_region twice or fix __request_region?
how about something like this? (haven't even compile)
#define ADDR_OFFSET(x) WHATEVER(x)
#define request_region(start,n,name) \
({ struct resource * __r, __s; \
__r = __request_region(&ioport_resource, (start), (n), (name)); \
if (__r) { \
__s = __request_region(&ioport_resource, (ADDR_OFFSET(start)), (n), (name)); \
if (!__s) { \
__release_region(&ioport_resource, (start), (n), (name)); \
__r = NULL; \
} \
} \
__r; })
