[PATCH] pcmcia: request CIS via firmware interface
Use the firmware method to load replacement CIS tables. It is recommended that the /lib/firmware/cis/ points to /etc/pcmcia/cis or the other way round so that both old-style cardmgr and new-style hotplug/firmware can access these "overwrite" files Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
