AR6000 driver failed on probe stage

[dongas]

Dear Ivan,

Can you help send me a total log of  ar6000 driver initialization
process such as from you insmod ar6000.ko?
(with ar6000 driver loglevel = 0xFFF7 and openning the mmc core debug info)

The former log you'v sent me seems a little later of ar6000 initialization.
I can not compare with the my log of ar6000 driver initialization.

Thanks

Regards
Dongas
