Which way round is it ? I haven't the docs here, but did all earlier systems
use the 82077 and many (OPUS) clones and the newer Sun's use the 82072 ?
Or is it the other way around?

We need a driver that will work with both. Maybe. sun4m systems report
a "SUNW,fdtwo" as opposed to an "fd" device in the device tree. Is this
significant ?
