Thanks, that might be the reason why the driver fails on some boards.
So, I should insert a pci_set_master() in the initial Kfir config.
I guess I was lucky this was always set by the BIOS on the boards I used.

Do you also get the SERR after busmastering is enabled?
Or is this error unrelated? Then we would still need to clear the SERR
flag.
