[PATCH] sis900 kernel oops fix
Backport of fix described below. From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Fix bug #4223. OK, this happened because we got preempted before sis900_mii_probe finished setting the sis_priv->mii. Theoretically this can happen with SMP as well but I suppose the number of SMP machines with sis900 is fairly small. Anyway, the fix is to make sure that sis900_mii_probe is done before the device can be opened. This patch does it by moving the setup before register_netdevice. Since the netdev name is not available before register_netdev, I've changed the relevant printk's to use pci_name instead. Note that one of those printk's may be called after register_netdev as well.
