Multiple dec2114x units on ppc

[Till Straumann]

Gregory.

First of all: could you append a copy of the dec2114x driver
including your modifications?

That looks ok, provided that you are sure the card uses INTA
in the slot it is sitting (note that the backplane might permute
the 4 PCI interrupt lines).

Changing INTERRUPT_LINE has no effect. INTERRUPT_LINE is mere 
information which should have been put there by the firmware.
You probably want to try different isr 'name's

BSP_PCI_INTERRUPT_LOWEST_OFFSET + 8..11

So do you see it on INTA ?

in this case, it should remain asserted.

If there is no handler installed, the line is probably masked.

You should try connecting an ISR to the four PCI interrupt names 
mentioned above (assuming you have no other PCI cards plugged in).
Each ISR could then printk() a message [this is VERY dirty. Of
course, you'd never print something from an ISR in real sofware].

That's not a bad idea. If you were using Cexp, it would be a piece
of cake to do exactly that from the command line. I can just type e.g.

*(long *)(OpenPIC + 0x10000)

To display the (little endian) value of the register at offset 0x10000.

You could unmask individual IRQs this way and see if the default handler
is called, look at the status bits etc.
