RE: PCMCIA ATA flash support

Yep, it has an __init for me too.   Interesting.

Good eyes!

I noticed an __init in front of m8xx_ide_init_hwif_ports.

According to init.h:

If you are calling ide_register() after bootup, could this be a problem
(note: I am using 2.2.13 with no patches for the PCMCIA so this may not be
true in your case)?

However, if your function is missing, this could be your problem.

Maybe one of the more experienced "listees" could give a better answer.

NIP is c00def58 (m8xx_ide_init_hwif_ports)
LR is c0002da4 (inside ide_init_hwif_ports)

I gather that LR is the place you were called from and NIP is the next
instruction, in which case both of these seem to be correct.
