After upgrading an old laptop to 4.15-rc9, I found that the eth0 and
wlan0 interfaces had disappeared.  It turns out that the b43 and b44
drivers require SSB_PCIHOST_POSSIBLE which depends on
PCI_DRIVERS_LEGACY, a config option that only exists on Mips.

Whoops, thats a very good point. I hadn't twigged that
PCI_DRIVERS_LEGACY was MIPS specific (one of the disadvantages of using
"tig grep" I suppose!).

I think this is obviously correct, so it'd be great to squeeze it into
4.15 final.

I'm not sure if I'm able to get it to 4.15 as it has go via the net
tree, and we have only two days before the (likely) final release, but
I'll try.

Too late, Dave already sent his last pull request for 4.15. This will be
in 4.16.

Okay, thanks anyway (and sorry again!).

Cheers
