Re: [PATCH 0/4] PCI: fix cardbus and sriov regressions

[Oliver Hartkopp]

Hello RP,

unfortunately i noticed the discussion on linux-kernel ML a bit late, as i did
not subscribe it due to the traffic.

Did you get further with the unusual alignment?

Even if i did not see any problems (i did not test the CardBus slot but only
the sdhci_pci), i wonder if the register layout of some adapters would get
into problems with this alignment shown below?!?

Regards,
Oliver

ps. pls put me in CC in the next patch servies. tnx
