3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sean Young <sean@xxxxxxxx>
commit 77e372a3d82e5e4878ce1962207edd766773cc76 upstream.
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.
Note, the BIOS can also be upgraded, fixing this problem, but for people
who can't do that, this fix is needed.
