Only request I/O ports 0x295-0x296 instead of the full I/O address range. This solves a conflict with PNP resources on a few motherboards. Also request the I/O ports in two parts (4 low ports, 4 high ports) during device detection, otherwise the PNP resource makes the request (and thus the detection) fail. This fixes lm-sensors ticket #2306: http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2306 Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org> --- Mark, this fixes a regression so this should go to Linus before 2.6.25 final. This should also be backported to 2.6.24-stable (I'll take care.) Note: I do agree that my fix is not universal and it is possible that some boards out there have a different PNP setup not covered by this fix. However it's hard to predict what the various BIOS do, and I also do not expect that many boards old enough to use a W83781D to declare it as a PNP device. So, my current position is to wait for further reports before updating the code again if needed. drivers/hwmon/w83781d.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) --- linux-2.6.25-rc4.orig/drivers/hwmon/w83781d.c 2008-02-26 13:37:12.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.25-rc4/drivers/hwmon/w83781d.c 2008-03-08 10:50:58.000000000 +0100 @@ -1367,7 +1367,8 @@ w83781d_isa_probe(struct platform_device /* Reserve the ISA region */ res = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_IO, 0); - if (!request_region(res->start, W83781D_EXTENT, "w83781d")) { + if (!request_region(res->start + W83781D_ADDR_REG_OFFSET, 2, + "w83781d")) { err = -EBUSY; goto exit; } @@ -1415,7 +1416,7 @@ w83781d_isa_probe(struct platform_device device_remove_file(&pdev->dev, &dev_attr_name); kfree(data); exit_release_region: - release_region(res->start, W83781D_EXTENT); + release_region(res->start + W83781D_ADDR_REG_OFFSET, 2); exit: return err; } @@ -1429,7 +1430,7 @@ w83781d_isa_remove(struct platform_devic sysfs_remove_group(&pdev->dev.kobj, &w83781d_group); sysfs_remove_group(&pdev->dev.kobj, &w83781d_group_opt); device_remove_file(&pdev->dev, &dev_attr_name); - release_region(data->client.addr, W83781D_EXTENT); + release_region(data->client.addr + W83781D_ADDR_REG_OFFSET, 2); kfree(data); return 0; @@ -1797,8 +1798,17 @@ w83781d_isa_found(unsigned short address { int val, save, found = 0; - if (!request_region(address, W83781D_EXTENT, "w83781d")) + /* We have to request the region in two parts because some + boards declare base+4 to base+7 as a PNP device */ + if (!request_region(address, 4, "w83781d")) { + pr_debug("w83781d: Failed to request low part of region\n"); return 0; + } + if (!request_region(address + 4, 4, "w83781d")) { + pr_debug("w83781d: Failed to request high part of region\n"); + release_region(address, 4); + return 0; + } #define REALLY_SLOW_IO /* We need the timeouts for at least some W83781D-like @@ -1871,7 +1881,8 @@ w83781d_isa_found(unsigned short address val == 0x30 ?
