It gets uglier. ALSA ISA drivers (for cards that exist both as legacy
and as ISAPnP at least) keep a merged legacy/isapnp model; PnP is used
mostly for initializing global variables that the same old legacy probe
routines then reference. This means that beyond that global resource
init step the specific struct device is no longer available. Without
restructuring too many things really only fixable through other hacks
again such as a global dma_dev[] array or some such.

From the viewpoint of PnP itself setting the dma_mask for a pnp_card (a
pnp_dev collection) makes isolated sense so if no objections, I'll
submit the attached after all. From the ALSA side we'd then pass the
card dev (which we'd also do for isa_dev) and keep in mind that we might
want to get more specific if over time structure permits it.

struct snd_pcm already has its own struct device * which would be the
right one here but it's setting that which gets ugly...

Rene.

Subject: [PATCH] PNP: set the pnp_card dma_mask for use by ISAPnP cards.

This makes the pnp_card->dev available as a DMAable device same as
the pnp_dev->dev.
