hello everyone,

after loading of via-rhine module I see:

MMIO do not match PIO [06] (ff != 00)
via-rhine: probe of 0000:02:08.0 failed with error -5
MMIO do not match PIO [06] (ff != 00)
via-rhine: probe of 0000:02:09.0 failed with error -5
MMIO do not match PIO [06] (ff != 6c)
via-rhine: probe of 0000:02:0a.0 failed with error -5

And only one port is functional. So I tried to disable MMIO & PIO
check in via-rhine.c :

/*      while (mmio_verify_registers[i]) {
                int reg = mmio_verify_registers[i++];
                unsigned char a = inb(pioaddr+reg);
                unsigned char b = readb(ioaddr+reg);
                if (a != b) {
                        rc = -EIO;
                        printk(KERN_ERR "MMIO do not match PIO [%02x] "
                               "(%02x != %02x)\n", reg, a, b);
                        goto err_out_unmap;
                }
        }
*/

Now all ports are working. 
And amateurish question: What can happen if it will be deactivated ?
Is this check so important ?

Kernel 2.6.23.10 (IMHO no essential changes in newest kernels). With intel
chipset it works without problem.
