My guess is that the problem was that the
  pnp_set_iobase(dev, PNP_IDX_IO0, iobase);
was not done explicitly before. I think I'll be able to test some code
this evening...

I'd prefer a less invasive patch, though. We should leave superio.c as
is for now, until we can really test that part of the code.
Let's just fix it8705f_early_serial.c for now.

Please don't copy these code comments. We should use Doxygen-style
comments for all new code we write (or "normal" code comments).

Nope, I think for the IT8705F it can be 0x4e, too. The special address
used for entering MB PnP mode is always 0x2e, though (if I'm reading the
data sheet correctly). However, this is not the same as the configuration
port which will be used later...

I'm not sure this is correct. The datasheet suggests that the current
version is correct. Is this a copy-n-paste error from the other Super I/O?

Ok, this looks good. Let's do it this way, if it's enough to make the
Super I/O work...


See attached (untested, yet) patch for a new version which fixes several
issues I was doing wrong in the ITE Super I/Os (the others need fixing,
too; I'll post patches).

Does this patch work on your board?


Uwe.
