The InsydeH2O BIOS (version dated 09/12/2011) has the following in
its pnp resouces for its serial ports:

$ cat /sys/bus/pnp/devices/00:0b/resources
state = active
io disabled
irq disabled

We do not check if the resources are disabled, and create a bogus
ttyS* device. Since commit 835d844d1a28e (8250_pnp: do pnp probe
before legacy probe) we get a bogus ttyS0, which prevents the legacy
probe from detecting it.

Would you mind accepting this patch please -- it fixes a regression I
introduced in 3.7.


Hi Sean,

Thanks for the patch, and thanks for re-pushing it :)
This is to inform you that the BIOS update referenced :
Version: SC24 BIOS V1.01
Release Date: 01/11/2013

Seems to fix "my" tty detection problem on 3.7 (tested on a 3.7.6 Fedora kernel, with success). I don't think the patch will hurt anyway - I believe it still will prevent other users from a regression. I also confirm that the patched 3.8.0 detects its ttys fine on a BIOS-updated system.

Regards,

Vincent
