Subject: Re: solo6010 modprobe lockup since e1ceb25a (v4.3 regression)

It could be related to the fact that a PCI write may be delayed unless
it is followed by a read (see also the comments in drivers/media/pci/ivtv/ivtv-driver.h).

That was probably the reason for the pci_read_config_word in the reg_write
code. Try putting that back (and just that).

Regards,

	Hans
