We are using 8172 for 2.4 kernels presently,although may drop it
sometime later.
I don't read the 2.6 code,but it seems it remains the same as the copy
in 2.4(except that #ifdef changes).I can't see why the code is broken?
In case you mean the ioport address,mips_io_port_base for that board is
0xa0000000, inb(0x14000060) is reading from 0xb4000060, which is correct
for it.
