Fails to build (undefined reference to `pcmcia_parse_tuple').
That's what 'select PCMCIA' was avoiding before, but got vetoed. I can
add a dependency on PCMCIA in the APNE Kconfig entry which does force
APNE the same as what's selected for PCMCIA, but that means we can't
build APNE without PCMCIA anymore. Is there a way to express 'constrain
build type if PCMCIA is enabled, else leave choice to user' ??

Sure, could declare cisparse_t cfparse above, and prepend cfparse. at
all uses of cftable_entry below.

Wasn't sure container_of() works with unions, but that seems to avoid
the cast OK as well.

Good catch - though when switching to another card using this same
driver, the module parameter can be used again to select IO mode or
force autoprobe.
I'll wait for your response about the sysfs parameter issue before
sending out v12.
