AAARRRGGH, it got screwed up somewhere in the past, during 2.5 or 2.6
somewhere. Take a look at 2.4.22, dev-priv gets set to &info->ti. *sigh*,
apologies, it doesn't help when the code you're looking at in the main tree
isn't the same as my dev tree and what I remember. (Wonder if it works at
all in 2.6, if it doesn't that shows just how many people are actually
testing it ;)
I *can* see what you're trying to do with the rest of the patch, although I
need to grab net-2.5-exp to fully see how this all works. There's parts of
the patch where I can see where the code was grabbed from but doesn't make
total sense yet (like testing for #ifndef PCMCIA in ibmtr_probe when
another part of the patch removed the call to ibmtr_probe from the pcmcia
driver.)
Bear with me, I think there's probably a cleaner solution.
pcmcia allocating its own dev structures is a right pain, would be nice if
this could go away too and it could all be done from the probe2 api.
