Call for old information: i82365.c

Back in 2.4.4, Alan submitted a few patches to Linus to add the
following code to i82365.c:

/*
SS_DETECT events need a small delay here. The reason for this is that
the "is there a card" electronics need time to see the card after the
"we have a card coming in" electronics have seen it.
*/
if (events & SS_DETECT)
mdelay(4);

Unfortunately, there are no specifics about the problem. Since I'm
eliminating the work queue handlers in the pcmcia socket drivers,
this fix doesn't have a logical place inside the socket driver itself.

However, I don't want to loose the fix - it is there to work around some
problem someone was seeing. If anyone had a problem around this time,
and this fixed it for them, please get in contact with me.

Thanks.
