Wait, from this sentence you actually confirm that patch removes *non- existant* ports.

No, it's about trying IRQs twice, though it might be not fully clear from commit message: the example there shows that IRQs are probed twice and on some platforms it may be a problem. > > Reverting this commit: > > commit 7d8905d064058f4b65057e0101588f362f288bc0 > Author: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Mon Jul 24 20:28:32 2017 +0300 > > serial: 8250_pci: Enable device after we check black list > > indeed fixes the problem. > > After reverting, the serial port from the Diva card shows up as ttyS0 > (as before). > With that patch applied, the serial port from the Diva card gets > ignored and the previous ttyS1 port becomes ttyS0 which then breaks > booting the parisc machine because the kernel expects the serial port > on > ttyS1. > I'm not sure what the best way forward is. > Fact is, that the patch above changes the behaviour and serial ports > which were existant before suddenly vanish with kernel 4.14. As stated in the commit message there "We can do this since PCI specification requires class, device and vendor ID registers to be always present in the configuration space." So, my understanding that the patch reveals the issue with these ports. (Of course, I agree this is regression and needs to be fixed ASAP) > This following patch does work, and adds back the Diva serial port on > parisc. > Not sure if it's acceptable though. For me it looks like the best quick solution right now. The proper one sounds like a specific initialization routine for these ports.
