VAIO IRQ assignment problem of USB controller

[Brian Lavender]

I have a Sony VAIO PCG-GR170K laptop with a memory stick which operates
off of the USB controller with device ID 00:1d.2. The laptop has a total
of three USB controllers.  The first two are getting IRQ's, but the third
one is not. Under Win2k, it assigns all three USB controllers IRQ 9. I
checked the bios for USB options, and the only option I could find is to
set a "Non PNP" OS.  I found no other USB options. I am currently using
kernel 2.4.9 from Redhat compiled from the source RPM.  I am guessing
that this must be a problem somewhere in the PCI IRQ configuration.
Any other suggestions aside from downloading 2.4.17?

Here's the code from UHCI that configures the device. It looks like if
it can't see an IRQ, it can't configure the device.

/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/uhci.c

   2856 static int __devinit uhci_pci_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id)
   2857 {
   2858         int i;
   2859 
   2860         if (!pci_dma_supported(dev, 0xFFFFFFFF)) {
   2861                 err("PCI subsystem doesn't support 32 bit addressing?");
   2862                 return -ENODEV;
   2863         }
   2864         dev->dma_mask = 0xFFFFFFFF;
   2865 
   2866         /* disable legacy emulation */
   2867         pci_write_config_word(dev, USBLEGSUP, 0);
   2868 
   2869         if (pci_enable_device(dev) < 0)
   2870                 return -ENODEV;
   2871 
   2872         if (!dev->irq) {
   2873                 err("found UHCI device with no IRQ assigned. check BIOS settings!");
   2874                 return -ENODEV;
   2875         }
