Wrong IRQ for USB on Sony Vaio (dmi_scan.c, pci-irq.c)

Broken BIOS of these notebooks assigns IRQ 10 for USB, even though it is actually wired to IRQ 9.
I use PCG-FX240 model of Sony Vaio, but I have proofs of other users, that exactly the same problem exists on models:
FX200, FX220, FX250, FX270, FX290, FX370, FX503, R505JS, R505JL These models use Intel's 82801BA controller, and Phoenix bios.Only problem is I don't have DMI Product names for all involved models. That's why I left pretty general:
MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "PCG-")
My Z505JE works perfectly without it. In general Z505's are known to work.

So...
if (dev->irq == 9) {
dev->irq = 9;
}Are you sure it's right?

I don't know nothing more than this...
I already send an email, and I hope I'll get DMI & PCI informations for these computers.

Thanks for your USB patch. I got the USB mouse to work on Sony Vaio PCG-R505JL. I installed RedHat 7.2 first and the mouse would work for a few minutes and die (with timeout messages appearing on /var/log/messages). I did not find the source code for redhat on the CD. So I ended up compiling the latest kernel (2.4.18). This is the first time I compiled the linux kernel, couldn't have been easier!

I had the same USB problem on the Sony PCG-R505JS laptop. Your kernel patch worked perfectly. At least on the 2.4.18 kernel.

OK.
This line isn't very important. ;)
