Since the functionality remains the same, I'm a bit indifferent to that
change; as long as the driver builds for systems in which it's intended
to be used, I'm satisfied.

Differentiating between PC/104 and ISA may be a pointless endeavor
though since both buses appear the same to software. But if it is better
to differentiate between devices as such, then I see little harm in
adding a PC104 Kconfig option which follows the ISA_BUS_API Kconfig
option.
