Re: net: generic netdev_ioaddr

With this driver it happens to be MMIO address.

Of course 0x4000 was an IO (non-MMIO) address.

It seems that the user can also setup dev->base_addr with "netdev="
kernel parameter before a driver starts probing (for example
drivers/net/appletalk/cops.c). Should we get rid of "netdev=" too and
push preconfiguring down to the drivers that actually use it?

Sure, cops.io= should be fine. Or cops.hw=io,irq,mem etc.

Still, this is an issue with non-PnP ISA cards only.
