According to the PC97317 datasheet, it looks quite similar to the PC87xxx
superI/O chips. I would thus advice to use the nsc-ircc.c driver (drivers/net/
irda/nsc-ircc.c)
You probably need to add a new entry to the static nsc_chip_t chips[] array,
as the index and data register reset values might be different. A quick glance
at the datasheet seems to indicate that they're close to the PC87338
configuration...

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Samuel.
