The patch titled parport_pc: after superio probing, restore original register values has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was parport_pc-after-superio-probing-restore-original-register-values.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: parport_pc: after superio probing, restore original register values From: Jens Rottmann <JRottmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO probes for various superio chips by writing byte sequences to a set of different potential I/O ranges. But the probed ranges are not exclusive to parallel ports. Some of our boards just happen to have a watchdog in one of them. Took us almost a week to figure out why some distros reboot without warning after running flawlessly for 3 hours. For exactly 170 = 0xAA minutes, that is ... Fixed by restoring original values after probing. Also fixed too small request_region() in detect_and_report_it87().
