AMD 8111 GPIO

The GPIO pins are I/O mapped at an offset from the Power Management base
address.  The PM base address is at the second PCI device, function 3,
offset 0x58. On a typical PC-BIOS this value is usually 0x5000.  But
when I do an lspci -xxx on a system running LinuxBIOS the value at
offset 0x58 is 0x0000.

I guess the question now is, does LinuxBIOS setup the PM base address?

You can use GPIO from AMD8111 and SuperIO Winbond 86327hf. But you need
to
check which pin can be linked out.

We've got Linux up and running on our Tyan S2885 motherboards, using
etherboot and filo with USB support.  Thanks for all your help, and
patience!

I was hoping that with all the expertise here with AMD 8111 chipset,
that someone would be able to answer my question.  Although it's not
strictly LinuxBIOS, it is Linux. ;-)

So I'm trying to write a Linux driver for the GPIO pins on the AMD 8111.
I saw a comment in amd8111_smbus.c that PMIOEN is set.  I believe this
is part of what I need to be able to drive the GPIOs.

But how/where were all those hex values determined?  The spec uses
mnemonics to abstract the addresses, and I don't see how they correlate.

Thanks,
