[PATCH v2 09/10] MIPS: i8042: Probe this device only if it exists

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Miodrag Dinic <miodrag.dinic@xxxxxxxxxx>

ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO is selected by default for MIPS platforms.
As a consequence SERIO_I8042 would be automatically selected for any
MIPS board which wants to enable input support like keyboard
(INPUT_KEYBOARD) regardless of i8042 controller existence.

The dependency is as follows :

config ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO [=y]
    Defined at drivers/input/serio/Kconfig:19
    Depends on: !UML
    Selected by: MIPS [=y]

config SERIO
    Defined at drivers/input/serio/Kconfig:4
    default y
    Depends on: !UML
    Selected by: KEYBOARD_ATKBD [=y] && !UML && INPUT [=y] &&
                 INPUT_KEYBOARD [=y]

config SERIO_I8042
    Defined at drivers/input/serio/Kconfig:28
    tristate "i8042 PC Keyboard controller"
    default y
    Depends on: !UML && SERIO [=y] && ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO [=y]
    Selected by: KEYBOARD_ATKBD [=y] && !UML && INPUT [=y] &&
                 INPUT_KEYBOARD [=y] && ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO [=y]

If this driver probes the I8042_DATA_REG not knowing if the device
exists it can cause a kernel to crash. Using check_legacy_ioport()
interface we can selectively enable this driver only for the MIPS
boards which actually have the i8042 controller.

New "Ranchu" virtual platform does not support i8042 controller
so it's added to the blacklist match table.

Each MIPS machine should update this table with it's compatible strings
if it does not support i8042 controller.

In order to utilize this mechanism, each MIPS machine that do not
have i8042 controller should update the blacklist table with its
compatible strings.
