what was 'set' in struct io_info for?

[Jonathan A. Kollasch]

Hi,

I noticed that, other than initialization in almost every superio, the
'set' member of struct io_info doesn't seem to be referenced by the pnp
code.  Worth the removing?

What would it be used for? How does the patch to remove it look?

I found the same thing as you a while ago.  The io_info structure in 
pnp.h is never referenced by the code, and it's purpose is never really 
defined anywhere.  If you change the name to something else (just in the 
header file) the code still all compiles, so I'd say remove it.

I also asked about it on the news group, but got no reply.

Oh, we have a news group?
