Like this? With this (on top of the previous patch setting the
dma_mask ofcourse) legacy ISA actually appears to be fine but it's
then ISAPnP which goes bonkers again. Sigh. Getting an allocation
failure. Don't understand why yet since pnp_alloc_dev() definitely
sets the mask already. Will stare...

You're in a maze of struct device *s, all alike... I was passing the pnp_card->dev instead of the initialized pnp_dev->dev.

And, not doing so brings out a difference between ISAPnP and legacy ISA again insofar that legacy ISA does not consist of cards with multiple devices. We just have the single struct device * for the ISA device.

This therefore would be the easiest solution (and works fine) but seems a bit of a hack. Bjorn, do you have an opinion? If I abstract things out a bit more I might be able to do this nicer. One might on the other hand argue that the dma_mask is going to be constant for all card devices so might as well just use the card dev.

sound/{isa,oss} together with drivers/isdn/hisax/ are the only pnp_card users.
