Hi Michael,

I don't know if this is the right way, but the atmel_cs driver uses this
workaround to make use of the firmware loader.

	/* This is strictly temporary, until PCMCIA devices get integrated into the device model. */
	static struct device atmel_device = {
	        .bus_id    = "pcmcia",
	};

Regards

Marcel
