[parisc-linux] pdc_add_valid

The pdc_add_valid function really annoys me. Or maybe it's just how
it's used:
if (!pdc_add_valid( (void *)(port+4))) {
Which says to me `if this address is not valid' -- the opposite of what it
does. It could be rewritten as:
if (pdc_add_valid((void *)(port+4)) == PDC_OK) {
but this takes more effort. In my tree, I've added valid_io_addr which
does what it says on the tin:
if (valid_io_addr(port+4)) {
For the moment, I've put it in <asm/io.h>, since it is for I/O addresses.
+int valid_io_addr(unsigned long addr)
+{
+ return (pdc_add_valid(addr) == PDC_OK);
+}
But maybe we should replace pdc_add_valid with valid_io_addr? Or a
different function? Suggestions appreciated.
