[PATCH] serial: 8250: Mark Fintek driver as CONFIG_BROKEN

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

 



The 8250_fintek driver advertises as the PNP0501 driver; however this
conflicts with the standard 16550A uart PNP0501. The conflict causes
the 8250_fintek driver to load with _every_ PNP0501, but never probe,
and causing the entire 8250 driver stack to unload if the 8250_fintek
driver is unloaded (modprobe doesn't know that 8250_pnp rather than
8250_fintek claimed the resource).
