I do not think it should have relied on it in any way or otherwise "select" should have been used. I recall confusion around this driver and even recently some breakage happened as a result of some fiddling with include/asm-mips/mach-generic/ide.h and the fact this platform is legacy-free -- there is nothing decoding subtractively on the PCI bus (no south bridge of any kind) and blind pokes at presumed ISA addresses result in bus error exceptions. I'll have a look at it in due course.
