I had a look at your code yesterday and it worked at first try. Good work!
I noticed that they implemented fifo-read/write in parport_pc but only
dma-write and no dma-read. Did you try out the fifo-read? The patch would
be about the dma-write then. Is that correct? I would not mind to do the
dma-read stuff. I guess I have some practice with that and their dma-write
code looked quite similar to my 2.2 dma-read code. :)
