[PATCH] pcmcia: allow function-ID based match
The "func_id"-based matching is very fuzzy and can lead to false positives. Therefore, it should be tried to avoid relying on these matches. Until most/all existing func_id-based matches are replaced by manf_id/card_id/prod_id matches (a patch which will ask to send the appropriate card information to the PCMCIA mailing list will be added once other, more pressing issues are adressed), we need to emulate cardmgr behaviour by allowing func_id matches if no manf_id/card_id/prod_id match occurs. This can only be done in userspace because of modules possibly loaded with long delays. So, add a per-device sysfs file for this purpose.
