Bjorn Helgaas (1): PNP: work around Dell 1536/1546 BIOS MMCONFIG
bug that breaks USB
Hi, this one is dependant on 24d25dbfa63c3 (x86/PCI: amd: factor out
MMCONFIG discovery), otherwise amd_get_mmconfig_range is undefined...
Interesting that this was reported almost 6 months after it was released :)
Yes :). This is because it is inside #ifdef CONFIG_AMD_NB which perhaps
nobody has set in 2.6.32. (Other than that we have the kernel in suse
enterprise for some time already.)

@Willy: 24d25dbfa63c3 is not enough. The header referenced in
2.6.32.55's patch does not exist in that tree yet. It was renamed from
asm/k8.h to asm/amd_nb.h later (by 23ac4ae827e62).

Given nobody noticed till now, I would incline to drop that patch from
2.6.32 series. Opinions?
Which one would you drop then ? You got me lost now. I mean, since you've
been the only one to notice an issue, I have no problem with following you
on the best way to fix it but I need to understand what you want then :-)

Thanks,
Willy
