Subject: media: rc: sir_ir: detect presence of port
From: Sean Young <sean@xxxxxxxx>
commit 30b4e122d71cbec2944a5f8b558b88936ee42f10 upstream.
Without this test, sir_ir clumsy claims resources for a device which
does not exist.
The 0-day kernel test robot reports the following errors (in a loop):
sir_ir sir_ir.0: Trapped in interrupt
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 4. 00000000 (ttyS0) vs. 00000000 (sir_ir)
When sir_ir is loaded with the default io and irq, the following happens:
- sir_ir claims irq 4
- user space opens /dev/ttyS0
- in serial8250_do_startup(), some setup is done for ttyS0, which causes
irq 4 to fire (in THRE test)
- sir_ir does not realise it was not for it, and spins until the "trapped
in interrupt"
- now serial driver calls setup_irq() and fails and we get the
"Flags mismatch" error.
There is no port present at 0x3e8 so simply check for the presence of a
port, as suggested by Linus.
