Hello,

what has isa_memcpy_fromio() changed to in kernel 2.6.17 from 2.6.16
It was always meant as a transition interface (although it survived
incredibly long). All code that uses the ioremap is unaffected: ie

	foo = ioremap(isa_addr, len);
	memcpy_fromio(foo + bar, buf, len2)

Stephen,
There were only 3 drivers in 2.6.16 that used isa_memcpy_fromio().
You can look at how they were changed for 2.6.17.

drivers/net/hp100.c and hp-plus.c
drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c

Thanks to everyone who replied - I am using a module from source forge, on my hp laptop, called omnibook. It allows me to turn off the back light on my n5430. Below is the
function that uses isa_memcpy_fromio().

static int __init dmi_iterate(void (*decode)(struct dmi_header *))
{
   u8 buf[15];
   u32 fp=0xF0000;

#ifdef CONFIG_SIMNOW
   /*
    *      Skip on x86/64 with simnow. Will eventually go away
    *      If you see this ifdef in 2.6pre mail me !
    */
   return -1;
#endif

   while( fp < 0xFFFFF)
   {
       isa_memcpy_fromio(buf, fp, 15);
       if(memcmp(buf, "_DMI_", 5)==0 && dmi_checksum(buf))
       {
           u16 num=buf[13]<<8|buf[12];
           u16 len=buf[7]<<8|buf[6];
           u32 base=buf[11]<<24|buf[10]<<16|buf[9]<<8|buf[8];

           if(dmi_table(base,len,num,decode)==0)
               return 0;
       }
       fp+=16;
   }
   return -1;
}

Would someone recommend how this should be changed?

Thanks,
Steve
