[linux-tr] ThinkPad 760 problems - cause & workaround

[Ian Pilcher <pilcher@concentric.net>]

Thanks to Dave Hinds, author of the Linux PCMCIA card services, the
"ASB error" problem appears to be caused by the Texas Instruments
PCI1130 CardBus controller.

A workaround is to edit the i82365.c file in the PCMCIA package and
comment out (or delete) the line in cb_set_opts which reads,

     t->bcr |= CB_BCR_WRITE_POST;

I have attached a patch which does this.
