g_NCR5380 driver, parameters passed to module

The patch appended allows parameter passing to the generic NCR5380/53C400
driver if it is loaded as a MODULE. In my situation it is suitable to
use the driver as a temporary module, since the NCR53C400 card is that of the
HP SCANJET, which cannot be used for other purposes and which is used
together with the scanner once a week at most.

The module can be loaded with e.g.
modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1
(see the little documentation in the patch.)
It is a rather crude hack and works for one card only. Perhaps
someone with a similar configuration could test it out?

Best regards, Wolfgang
