that has an 8255 chip. For multifunction boards, the main driver will
configure the 8255 subdevice automatically.
-This driver also works independently with ISA cards that directly
-map the 8255 registers to I/O ports, including cards with multiple
-8255 chips. To configure the driver for such a card, the option
-list should be a list of the I/O port bases for each of the 8255
-chips. For example,
