Ok, first some whitespace gestapoing.

There are 3 trailing whitespaces on empty lines. You probably also 
want to review comments. There's one place (GPIO inversion reg) where 
you start the line with spaces instead of a tab. Also, get a space in 
after a ',' in your in/outbs (activate logical device).

Is it really necessary to write the index register twice on the w83627?

Also:

There is a hard strcmp in the linuxbios name matching. For the agami 
aruma, the linuxbios name is in all caps, but here it is in small 
letters. Is this correct, as in, does this correspond with the 
linuxbios config? Should board_enable be using strcasecmp?

As for documenting, README should be touched as well. You might want to 
add the AGAMI:ARUMA.

This name matching is rather safe now, as you have to match at least one 
set of main pci-ids. This will stop joe simple from simply running down 
the list of board enables.
