[PATCH] dscc4: reset changes
From: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Workaround for lack of true reset: - devices/ports are put in silent mode at ifconfig down time but some state is kept around to allow 'ifconfig up' issuing at a later time. Device specific structures are allocated when the pci asic is probed: dscc4_init_ring() moves from dscc4_open() to dscc4_found1(). - try to use reset related board-specific feature at module removal time if available. Comments in the code explain the whole story. Not a complicated feature but it is unavailable on the cards I own and no user gave me feedback -> currently untested. It shouldn't harm anyway.
