I have added device enabling in PPC PCI fixup code for PowerMacs. But
Martin and Geert tought me that that's not the 'right way' to do it.
Anyway, see below...

Hehe. Exactly my machine ;-)

The explanation is that PowerMac firmware (OpenFirmware, that is) will
not enable any PCI device it doesn't know. Resources get assigned ok,
but that's it.

Yes, spelled right. Thanks ;-)

This patch should basically be correct. In essence, that's what's done
elsewhere as well, be it in my patches or with pci_enable_device().
Oh, wait... you've got problems accessing _IO_ space? That's a different
matter altogether. Let me explain: On PowerPC, there's no such thing as
an IO space, or dedicated IO instructions. The memory model is flat.
Now, in order to support IO space on the PCI bus, that IO space is
simply mapped to a memory region by the bus bridge, which also takes
care of generating IO cycles on the bus.
This mapping of IO space to the regular memory space is not transparent,
i.e. adresses are translated. That's what the _IO_BASE is for. Now, I
don't remember exactly, but in order to get the Promise going in my box,
I got rid of _IO_BASE, and rather fixed the struct pci_dev of the
Promise to point its IO regions at the translated space. Again, I'm not
sure what the exact problem was when not doing that, or whether with
recent 2.4 PPC kernels, that's still necessary.
Anyway, either look for yourself in the direction of IO space
remappings, or have a look at the PCI patches on my site, which include
the IO space stuff:

Have fun!
