2.5.56 aha1542 driver

[Russell Coker]

If you have CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542 enabled but don't have ISA PNP enabled then
the kernel won't compile:
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c: In function `aha1542_detect':
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c:1152: warning: implicit declaration of function
`isapnp_find_dev'
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c:1153: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer
without a cast
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c:1160: structure has no member named `prepare'
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c:1168: structure has no member named `activate'
make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/aha1542.o] Error 1

In 2.4.x kernels you could compile it with such options.  Ideally in 2.5.x it
would still be possible to compile such a configuration, but it would be OK
if the kernel configuration refused to allow AHA1542 to be supported without
ISAPNP.

The real problem is that the driver hasn't been updated to the new pnp layer
that got introduced lately without updating most of the pnp-capable drivers..
