Since this is the only driver that can use prom_printf in a module
and it appears that the only sparc system that uses it is an unreleased
version of the java station, wouldn't it be better to change the
prom_printf to a printk in this driver?

I didn't see this problem because I don't compile with pci support
because it's one of the things I have to disable to get a kernel
small enough to actually load.
