Subject: [PATCH 1/2] parport_pc: after superio probing restore original
	register values

From: Jens Rottmann <JRottmann@...PERTEmbedded.de>

CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO probes for various superio chips by writing
byte sequences to a set of different potential I/O ranges.  But the
probed ranges are not exclusive to parallel ports.  Some of our boards
just happen to have a watchdog in one of them.  Took us almost a week
to figure out why some distros reboot without warning after running
flawlessly for 3 hours.  For exactly 170 = 0xAA minutes, that is ...

Fixed by restoring original values after probing.  Also fixed too small
request_region() in detect_and_report_it87().
