Agreed with this patch, but we lose some information:  all that remains 
is an uncommented 'CFR' definition.  Without the code comment, which is 
deleted in this patch, we have no idea what that register does.  Given 
that the chipset docs are not public AFAIK, this is a net loss of 
information about this chipset, IMO.

Maybe revise this patch, or add a second patch, which adds a comment 
where 'CFR' is defined?  Something as simple as "/* version info */" 
would be sufficient.

   It does several different things.

   They were public once. And I think I've given you that spec along 
with other PCI-64x specs for publishing on 
gkernel.sourceforge.net/specs/ already (can't open 
sii/cmd64x-specs.tar.bz2 now to check).

   That wouldn't be a good description. The "official" name of the 
register is configuration register.

Based on this, I retract my comment.  Will apply patch as-is.

cmd64x-specs.tar was missing from my local doc archive, and I naively 
assumed everything in my public doc archive (gkernel.sf.net/specs/) was 
also stored locally.
