Hello,
I am trying to debug some problems with a device driver for a cPCI device. For some reason, the authors of the driver do not call pci_register_driver or pci_enable_device. Should this cause any problems? The driver registers itself via register_chrdev and calls request_irq to get the interrupt line.
The problems I am seeing are when it and the ethernet driver share the same interrupt line. For some reason, the device driver's release function seems to occasionally get called (when I don't belive it should be called). The release function frees the irq (via free_irq), but this seems to cause the ethernet driver to stop getting interrupts. Any ideas?
Sonja
