Ugh, this is not what i need. I want to move SIIG combo cards support from 8250_pci.c to parport_serial.c module. For this I need to export pci_siig[12]0x_fn() functions having struct pci_board *board as one of arguments. parport_serial.c modules already includes <linux/serialP.h> so used it for 2.4, but 2.5 is different.

Well, I'd like to eliminate struct pci_board from the init functions for several reasons. One of them is that some of the init functions do buggy things with it (like increasing the number of ports.)

This should solve your problem - please confirm.

Yes it should fix my problem, actually SIIG initialization functions don't even use this argument.

When you submit this change to 2.5 I'll send a patch ASAP.

Best regards.
