2.4.25 yenta problem and small fix/workaround

[Silla Rizzoli]

Hello!
Inserting a PC Card in my laptop (IMB R40 2681) with kernel 2.4.25 results in 
the following message:

Feb 19 11:10:16 [kernel] cs: socket d603e000 voltage interrogation timed out

This sometimes happens with 2.6.x too, but issuing cardctl insert 0 usually 
solves the problem, however in this case it didn't. I tried to modify all the 
pcmcia_core module parameters but to no avail, the socket remained dead.

Examining the sources I noticed that 2.4.25 introduced this three line check; 
I suppose that the socket state read returns a valid state and 
cb_writel(socket, CB_SOCKET_FORCE, CB_CVSTEST) is not executed.
Removing the check and executing the last line regardless fixes the problem.
I am probably experiencing a hardware bug limited to my laptop, but I'm 
posting this small patch here just in case someone has the same problem.

Regards,
Silla Rizzoli
