Chas?

Madge has been out of business for a couple decades now.

I doubt anyone does but does anyone actually use this driver or
even have working hardware?

If not, how about just deleting this driver altogether instead?

from horizon.h:

/*
  Madge Horizon ATM Adapter driver.
  Copyright (C) 1995-1999  Madge Networks Ltd.

*/

/*
  IMPORTANT NOTE: Madge Networks no longer makes the adapters
  supported by this driver and makes no commitment to maintain it.
*/

An IMO ugly assignment in a printk too.
