Hi.
There is no maintainer listed for NCR5380 in 2.3.22/MAINTAINERS, so I'm
sending this to this list.
I just got an ancient 5380-based card(*) to work with Linux 2.0.38 on my
old 386. While testing the card, I found a minor bug in the g_NCR5380
driver. This exists in similar form in alle Release2-Kernels (I checked
2.0.38, 2.2.12 and 2.3.22). As it affects only 5380-based cards while
using an "ncr5380=base,irq,dma" bootprompt argument, I can see why it
never got noticed :-) Here is a patch for 2.3.22:

(*) for the records: This is an NCR ADP-31S, 8bit ISA, built in 1986 :-)
It is portmapped, uses port 0x330 (fixed) and IRQ 2/9 (also fixed).
If anybody has some more information on the board, especially if there
is an entry point to some kind of setup program in the ROM (it as an 8KB
EPROM at DA00), or how to make it boot from SCSI, I'd be grateful.
I'm not subscribed to this list, so please Cc: all replies to me.
Regards,
Ingo
