commit 5fa1659105fac63e0f3c199b476025c2e04111ce upstream.
The HP Dino PCI controller chip can be used in two variants: as on-board
controller (e.g. in B160L), or on an Add-On card ("Card-Mode") to bridge
PCI components to systems without a PCI bus, e.g. to a HSC/GSC bus. One
such Add-On card is the HP HSC-PCI Card which has one or more DEC Tulip
PCI NIC chips connected to the on-card Dino PCI controller.
Dino in Card-Mode has a big disadvantage: All PCI memory accesses need
to go through the DINO_MEM_DATA register, so Linux drivers will not be
able to use the ioremap() function. Without ioremap() many drivers will
not work, one example is the tulip driver which then simply crashes the
kernel if it tries to access the ports on the HP HSC card.
This patch disables the HP HSC card if it finds one, and as such
fixes the kernel crash on a HP D350/2 machine.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
