Subject: 2.6.22-rc: regression: no irda0 interface (2.6.21 was OK), smsc does not find chip

Under 2.6.22-rc I lost irda0 interface - smsc claims no device present. 
Nothing was changed in setup except kernel version.

2.6.21:

Detected unconfigured Toshiba laptop with ALi ISA bridge SMSC IrDA chip, 
pre-configuring device.
Activated ALi 1533 ISA bridge port 0x02e8.
Activated ALi 1533 ISA bridge port 0x02f8.
found SMC SuperIO Chip (devid=0x5a rev=00 base=0x002e): LPC47N227
smsc_superio_flat(): IrDA not enabled
smsc_superio_flat(): fir: 0x2f8, sir: 0x2e8, dma: 03, irq: 7, mode: 0x02
SMsC IrDA Controller found
 IrCC version 2.0, firport 0x2f8, sirport 0x2e8 dma=3, irq=7
No transceiver found. Defaulting to Fast pin select
IrDA: Registered device irda0

2.6.22-rc3:
Detected unconfigured Toshiba laptop with ALi ISA bridge SMSC IrDA chip, 
pre-configuring device.
Activated ALi 1533 ISA bridge port 0x02e8.
Activated ALi 1533 ISA bridge port 0x02f8.
pnp: Device 00:0a activated.
smsc_ircc_present(), addr 0x02e8 - no device found!
pnp: Device 00:0a disabled.

I Cc Adam because of pnp messages in this case - they were not present in 
2.6.21 so something is being done differently now.
