Yes.

OK, I can move the conditional calling to this level.

This is only implemented for some video drivers (SM501, SED13806, MB826xx) to 
return the base address for the graphics chip. The PCI drivers like the ct6900 
don't use this interface. Here we have other means to get the base address.

I'll move the conditional calling to the highest level and resubmit.

Thanks.
