Thats sounds good, yes.
Maybe we should also run the legacy probe when the PnP one fails. I
don't know how the preconfiguration stuff will behave with the device
being PnP enabled, but with your patch Andrey will still need to
modprobe smsc-ircc with smsc_nopnp.

So, here is the patch I propose (I had to move smsc_ircc_legacy_probe()
a bit earlier in the code to avoid forward declaration, but it's
basically your patch plus a call to smsc_ircc_legacy_probe() from the
pnp_probe() routine):
