[PATCH RFT] 3c59x: fix freeing nonexistent resource on driver unload

[Sergei Shtylyov]

When unloading the driver that drives an EISA board, a message similar to the
following one is displayed:

Trying to free nonexistent resource <0000000000013000-000000000001301f>

Then an user is unable to reload the driver because the resource it requested in
the previous load hasn't been freed. This happens most probably due to a typo in
vortex_eisa_remove() which calls release_region() with 'dev->base_addr'  instead
of 'edev->base_addr'...

    Does the module at least loads OK for the EISA card now?

    Frankly speaking, I don't know, and don't have much time to invest in this...

    Should I repost this now with [RFT] removed and this line changed to:

Reported-and-tested-by: Matthew Whitehead <tedheadster@gmail.com>


or could you do it when/if applying, David?

    Thank you. It's really ancient error, though for the ancient boards 
only as well...
