Hello people

When rmmod'ing parport_pc.o (kernel 2.3.13), that have been working in
non-EPP modes, kernel reports this message:
"Trying to free nonexistent resource <037b-037a>"
Here is a small fix to solve the problem:

if (p->irq != PARPORT_IRQ_NONE)
free_irq(p->irq, p);
release_region(p->base, 3);

+ if (p->size > 3)
release_region(p->base + 3, p->size - 3);
if (p->modes & PARPORT_MODE_ECP)
release_region(p->base_hi, 3);

BTW, in recent development kernels parport_pc.o has stopped to detect
EPP modes of parralel port if I set it up in CMOS-setup as "EPP+ECP".
In 2.2.10 it correctly detects all combinations of EPP. Is it a bug
or a feature? (my mainboard is based on Intel's VX chipset)
