explicitely by a plain integer array
the length in now known to all relevant parties, so this avoids
duplication of information, and we can allocate that thing in
drivers without hacks
-convert submatch() style functions (passed to config_search() or
config_found_sm()) to the locator passing variants
-pass interface attributes in some cases
-make submatch() functions look uniformly as far as possible
-avoid macros which just hide cfdata members, and reduce dependencies
on "locators.h"
PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, use it to store the clock frequency (with 8 lower bits
to 0, used for real flags if needed).
Update all descriptions to set flags to 0 for LPT or COM_FREQ for COM.
Add support for the VScom PCI-800H 8 port serial adapter (which uses
a 14.7456 Mhz crystal instead of the standart 1.8432Mhz :)
XXX now that we can pass other frequency than COM_FREQ, the VScom PCI-800
entry could probably be updated to DTRT - does anyone have one ?
pci_attach_args *" instead of from four separate parameters which in
all cases were extracted from the same "struct pci_attach_args".
This both simplifies the driver api, and allows for alternate PCI
interrupt mapping schemes, such as one using the tables described in
the Intel Multiprocessor Spec which describe interrupt wirings for
devices behind pci-pci bridges based on the device's location rather
the bridge's location.
Tested on alpha and i386; welcome to 1.5Q
on the 8 port card Simon Gerraty has. In general, cards which have
this lots of ports also have a separate interrupt status register, but
this change is just to talk to the various ports independently. It works,
but it's not optimal. (XXX still need a good name for the card in the
comments, and to update the manual page.)
which contain 'standard' com- and lpt-type ports. Some of these present
as PCI simple-communications/serial or simple-communications/parallel
devices, but many do not. (Additionally, there is no document that I can
find that describes the "specific well-konwn register-level" description
of how the 'standard' devices' config space headers shold work.) Eventually,
some of the devices driven by this code should become simple pci attachments
for the 'lpt' and 'com' drivers, but that requires solid documentation.
