Note that you shouldn't set pci_dev->irq for any devices below the
cardbus bridge (since the cardbus code knows better than anyone else
which IRQ must be used.)
However, I don't see a problem in the dmesg you've supplied since the
right IRQ gets used anyway (IRQ10).

Define "quit working" - how did it stop working? Is it just that
prism54 receives no interrupts? Do socket status change interrupts
still work?
