I don't know about the ROM, but the Mach kernel driver runs the dp8490
in "enhanced mode" that is not available on the 5380. Thus you won't
be able to use your chip with Mach without first doing some hacking.

Otherwise I think the chips are pin compatible (but don't blame me if
the smoke comes out).
