Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [v2] serial: 8250: remove obsolete and broken PORT_RSA support
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 14:59:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016130328.1037616-2-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261016130328.1037616-1-arnd@kernel.org>

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

For all I can tell, the RSA support in the 8250 driver is not functional
and has not been for a long time.

The RSA-DV II/S ISA card[1] was sold by IODATA in the 1990s as a faster
alternative to regular ISA serial ports, and it was discontinued in
2002. Linux support was added by Kiyokazu SUTO in 2000.

The driver defines an I/O port base address of -8 (negative eight),
which should always get refused by request_region on all architectures
for being outside of the valid resource range.

Further, it seems that a patch to setserial would be required in order
to set PORT_RSA when not using autoconfiguration.

This patch removes all code related to the RSA support, with the exception
of the user-visible PORT_RSA definition.
