Re: [rant] can we get asane ic7xxx/79xx probing _please_

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for bringing this up.  I do have Andi's patch in the pending list,
and would like to apply it to the newer version of the driver.

I should mention that while the newer drivers do not quite have
the PCI tables as presented in Andi's patch, they do check the return
value of pci_module_init() and return the appropriate result.

Thanks again,
		Luben
