2.6.13-rc7-git2 crashes on iBook

2.6.13-rc7-git2 crashes on iBook

[Andreas Schwab]

The last change to drivers/pci/setup-res.c (Ignore disabled ROM resources
at setup) is breaking radeonfb on iBook G3 (with Radeon Mobility M6 LY).
It crashes in pci_map_rom when called from radeonfb_map_ROM.  This is
probably a dormant bug that was just uncovered by the change.

FWIW, it didn't seem to break my Sony Vaio PCG-GR214EP (x86 with Radeon
Mobility M6 LY as well.) So it must be machine-specific, not
chip-specific.

   Same thing on Mac Mini.  2.6.13 doesn't boot.  Revert the
drivers/pci/setup-res.c change from rc7-git2 and it seems ok.

Confirmed on an Apple Powerbook too.

For reference, the (already reverted) patch which needs to be applied is
below.

2.6.13 PowerBook boot hang (was Re: 2.6.13-rc7-git2 crashes on iBook)

2.6.13 hangs on boot on my PowerBook 5.4, reverting the disabled ROM
patch (appended for confirmation) fixes it.  2.6.13-rc7 was fine.

    Ignore disabled ROM resources at setup
    
    Writing even a disabled value seems to mess up some matrox graphics
    cards.  It may be a card-related issue, but we may also be writing
    reserved low bits in the result.
    
    This was a fall-out of switching x86 over to the generic PCI resource
    allocation code, and needs more debugging.  In particular, the old x86
    code defaulted to not doing any resource allocations at all for ROM
    resources.
    
    In the meantime, this has been reported to make X happier by Helge
    Hafting <helgehaf@aitel.hist.no>.

Same here, on an Apple eMac with Radeon graphics. 2.6.13-rc7 worked fine,
2.6.13 vanilla hangs early in the boot when radeonfb is about to take over
from OF. Reverting the patch below eliminates the hang.

Sorry for my ignorance. Which tree was this reverted in? You are probably 
aware that this bug made it into 2.6.13 (patch was not reverted there).

It must be my bad english but I wasn't implying that the patch was
reverted in 2.6.13 but that one should apply it (just apply, without -R,
because I didn't attach the original patch but a reversed version of it)
on a clean 2.6.13 tree in order to make it work. :)

However, a different fix (a real fix, not the workaround proposed above)
was discussed on lkml this week and BenH proposed a patch I haven't had
the chance to test yet (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/8/31/1 ).
