Since Alan has commented on it:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/17/422
"5520 in fact is always enabled as it is the host bridge.
pci_enable_device_io will do just fine. The 5520 fun is if you disable it
the system hangs."
I moved on assuming that either submitter or integrator would follow up...
but it seems that it didn't happen. :(
PS Could somebody remove the stale comment from cs5520.c?
Thanks,
Bart
