Made some more progress on this.  Having instrumented parport_pc.c in detail, 
now I see much more:

First, we have jumpered our TS-SER2 for 0x378 and IRQ 7, and entered various 
options attempting to get things working into /etc/modprobe.d/parport.conf.  
And again we have stock 2.6.29-ts with gnueabi-gcc-3.4.4, with the only mod to 
the stock build being addition of the parallel support:

CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set
# CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_AX88796=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_NOT_PC=y
# CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT is not set
# CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT is not set


Lessons learned and questions.


1. Do not enable the superio option: CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO!  This is 
experimental code and it segfaults superio os irrelevant for TS boards anyway.


2.  There is no evidence of parport_pc ever having been ported to ARM.  For 
example, it has hexadecimally hard coded Intel port addresses such as this very 
important statement found at line 2235:

        if (base != 0x3bc) {

According to everything I have read from TS and this group, we must use the 
address 0x11e03bc, etc. as the port address


3. The driver gives a segmentation fault when executing this emulated statement 
at line 1694 of parport_pc.c:

        outb (r, CONTROL (pb));

which nets us:

Jan 21 19:34:38 cmn899 kernel: Unable to handle kernel paging request at 
virtual address 11e0037a

This line shows that our port address assignment, which we did via 
/etc/modprobe.d/parport.conf succeeded.  But the kernel is not happy with our 
attempt to access this address.  The rest of the kernel complaints are below.

What do I need to do to get the kernel to allow me to access those addresses?  
Am I on the right track?  Thanks a lot!  The folks at TS told my buyer that it 
"should" work on ARM.  I am dubious now, but no matter, we must push forward 
anyway.  Thanks again!
