Hi all,

We are writing a PCMCIA client driver for USB function of a
multifunction PCMCIA card.
We are facing an issue in configuring both of the functions of the card.

The card hosts a serial function (function 0) and a USB function
(function 1).
The serial function is driven by standard serial_cs.
The dump_cis information of the card shows:

Socket 0:
  dev_info
    SRAM 200ns, 2kb
  attr_dev_info
    ROM 200ns, 512b
    fn_specific 200ns, 512b
  mfc {
    manfid 0xABCD, 0xABCD
    vers_1 6.1, "CF CARD", "GENERIC", "", ""
    funcid serial_port [post]
    serial_interface
      uart 16550 [space/mark/odd/even] [5/6/7/8] [1/1.5/2]
    config base 0x0200 mask 0x006f last_index 0x07
    cftable_entry 0x07 [default]
      [rdybsy]
      Vcc Vnom 3300mV
      io 0x0000-0x000f [lines=4] [8bit]
      irq mask 0xffff [level] [shared]
  }, {
    funcid unknown
    config base 0x0300 mask 0x006f last_index 0x07
    cftable_entry 0x07 [default]
      [rdybsy]
      Vcc Vnom 3300mV
      io 0x0000-0x003f [lines=6] [8bit]
      irq mask 0xffff [level] [shared]
      memory 0x0000-0x07ff @ 0x0000
  }


The USB client driver is working properly when we don't insert the
serial_cs module.
That is, when the serial function is not configured then the USB client
driver is configuring the USB function perfectly.
But we are facing problem when we insert both the modules and try to
configure both the functions simultaneously.
In that case we are getting following messages from dmesg:

On further study, we had found out this is failing in the function
alloc_io_space(), where it checks for most obvious conflicts.
Also we are getting following output from cat /proc/ioports:

The system we are testing on is Acer Aspire 3003LC running Linux Kernel
2.6.15.4, downloaded from kernel.org
We are using PCMCIAUTILS-013.
The /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file reads as:

#

#
# System resources available for PCMCIA cards
#
# NOTE: these settings have no effect on resources assigned to a
# CardBus bridge device itself; this file only affects resources
# assigned to cards.  Also, interrupt settings here will only affect
# ISA bus interrupts assigned to 16-bit cards.  PCI interrupts
# generally can't be reconfigured.
#
# With the kernel PCMCIA subsystem, these settings also have no effect
# at all on resources used for 32-bit CardBus cards.  Those are set by
# the PCI hotplug subsystem.
