do_config(9r)
NAME
  do_config - EISA/ISA: Initializes the device to its assigned configuration

SYNOPSIS
  void do_config(
	  struct controller *ctlr_p );

ARGUMENTS
  ctlr_p
      Specifies a pointer to the controller structure associated with the
      controller to be configured. The do_config routine obtains the device
      to initialize through its controller's associated controller structure
      pointer.

DESCRIPTION
  The do_config routine initializes the specified controller based on its
  power-up resource assignments. If the device uses either an interrupt or a
  DMA channel, then do_config also performs any setup requirements. For
  example, for controllers that connect to the EISA bus, do_config
  initializes the controller according to the parameters specified in the
  EISA configuration file.

NOTES
  The do_config routine is a generic interface that maps to a bus-specific
  interface that actually initializes the specified device.  Using this
  routine to initialize a device makes the driver more portable across
  different bus architectures. Not all buses support the do_config routine.

RETURN VALUES
  None
