Yes, it's a byproduct of how the minor numbers are allocated. ISA devices
have to use a fixed minor number, so it reserves minor 0, and
self-configuring buses (like PCI) use numbers above that, in this case 1.

If you want it to act like GENERIC then copy the config line out of
GENERIC.

Erm, remove the ISA probe, then add that line. :-)
