Weird, this is the second private e-mail I get in a single day.
Is there some information out there suggesting that kernel maintainers
should be contacted without copying the mailing list ? If so, tell them
it is wrong. As warning to everyone, I won't reply any further
to private e-mails like this.
Looking at the code, try adding ignore_dmi=1 as module parameter when
loading the driver. I think commit 393935baa45e5c messed it up and
prevents the driver from loading if the parameter is not provided.
Maybe the conditions in sch56xx_init() are wrong or too generic.
Armin, any comments ? Do we need to revert your patch ?
Guenter
I think so, it seems that the DMI devices are not always present.
We better revert the DMI autodetection patch to prevent anymore
regressions like this.
