Could you try the patch below?

No, please hang on, it's much simpler. Above commit isn't actually itself guilty. Have a patch ready, but am testing a bit.

I retract that. Your patch should fix things.

It does. Acked/Tested-by: Rene Herman <rene.herman@xxxxxxxxx>

I would like to place something on top to make the init isa/pnp choice look more generic but I'll submit that tomorrow.

This bug was uncovered by !CONFIG_PNP and we had trouble in this driver due to that before so was rewriting the init to be a generic multi-card ALSA init but, actually, not much point.

The hardware fundamentally doesn't support more than one card per system due to the fixed chip->mc_base and the bug was in this case not _caused_ but only uncovered by !CONFIG_PNP (it triggers for CONFIG_PNP after supplying "isapnp=0" as a module param) so I'll just wait for the next time this ifdeffed together mess breaks on !CONFIG_PNP to make the init look generic ;-)

In fact, in the meantime I'll look at splitting 92x and 93x again. It's much better now that Krzysztof made it use the generic library code but I still hate this driver. It's also poking at ports without being told something is there by either system or user.

Trivial remainder of init rewrite that's still applicable:
