The smc91x driver doesn't seem to pull its parameters from the netdev=
parameter. Instead, a `platform_bus' is used, which requires a call to
`platform_add_devices' -- an example of this below. Could the smc91x
driver be modified to pulls its parameters from netdev=?

Cheers,
Shaun

#include <linux/device.h>

static struct resource smc91x_resources[] = {
[0] = {
.name = "smc91x-regs",
.start = 0x300,
.end = 0x30f,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
},
[1] = {
.start = 17,
.end = 17,
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
},
};

static struct platform_device smc91x_device = {
.name = "smc91x",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(smc91x_resources),
.resource = smc91x_resources,
};

static struct platform_device *devices[] __initdata = {
&smc91x_device,
};

void __init pathport_init(void)
{
platform_add_devices(devices, ARRAY_SIZE(devices));
}
