[PATCH] "multifunc-device": fix IRQ assignment by also scanning dummy nodes

[Tom Arbuckle]

Hello, Ben.


I've regenerated this patch against 2.6.28.4.

______

Kernel: 2.6.28.4; function: scan_OF_pci_childs; file: arch/powerpc/kernel/pci_32.c
Quoting from line 206 : 'some OFs create a parent node "multifunc-device" as a
fake root for all functions of a multi-function device. we go down them as well.'

Function scan_OF_for_pci_dev (line 225) also needs to be taught about
these dummy nodes to prevent misallocation/non-allocation of IRQs for
this class of devices.

Bug seen when using a bt878 multimedia controller card on a G3 Powermac.
This PCI card has separate audio and video nodes and was not being properly
assigned interrupts. (Either 'cannot grab irq 0' or type of assigned
interrupt wrt 'edge/level' was incorrect).
