Compilation problem with eepro100 in 2.6.16

["Kishore K" <hellokishore@gmail.com>]

hi
2.6.16 kernel (from linux-mips) build is failing when enabled the support for eepro100 ethernet driver (error is given below). But, I don't see the same problem, if the kernel from kernel.org
 is used. I guess the problem is due to the changes in the files arch/mips/lib/iomap.c and include/asm-mips/io.h. In general, the problem is observed for all the drivers which use ioread*, iowrite* calls.

I observe that changes are minimal between 
kernel.org and linux-mips branches for 2.6.16. May, I know, what is the current procedure being followed for taking the mips kernels? Is it from linux-mips or kernel.org
 ?  Could you please advise.
