Obviously, your patch is fine, but I was wondering if it was a
problem that it->options was only a 32 bit? Seems like it would
deserve a comment.

Yes, it's a bit of a strange driver, this one. It's a driver for a module sitting on a PCI card, but there is no driver I know of for the PCI card, and I've no idea what's actually ioremap'ing the memory!

Maybe we should quietly drop it and see if anyone complains?
