5 | * New IRQ request rules (as of 2.6.35) | ||
6 | Instead of the old pcmcia_request_irq() interface, drivers may now | ||
7 | choose between: | ||
8 | - calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from *p_dev->irq. | ||
9 | - use pcmcia_request_irq(p_dev, handler_t); the PCMCIA core will | ||
10 | clean up automatically on calls to pcmcia_disable_device() or | ||
11 | device ejection. | ||
12 | - drivers still not capable of IRQF_SHARED (or not telling us so) may | ||
13 | use the deprecated pcmcia_request_exclusive_irq() for the time | ||
14 | being; they might receive a shared IRQ nonetheless. | ||
