[patch 0/5] PNP: convert x86 legacy serial to platform devs, add SMC IR PNP probe

[patch 0/5] PNP: convert x86 legacy serial to platform devs, add SMC IR PNP probe

[Bjorn Helgaas]

This series converts i386 and x86_64 legacy serial ports to be platform
devices and prevents probing for them if we have PNP.

This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the
legacy probe and by 8250_pnp.

This also prevents the serial driver from claiming IRDA devices (unless
they have a UART PNP ID).  The serial legacy probe sometimes assumed the
wrong IRQ, so the user had to use "setserial" to fix it.

Removing the need for setserial to make IRDA devices work seems good,
but it does break some things.  In particular, you may need to keep
setserial from poking legacy UART stuff back in by doing something like
"dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel" option.  Otherwise, the
setserial-discovered "UART" will claim resources and prevent the IRDA
driver from loading.

[patch 1/5] PNP: notice whether we have PNP devices (PNPBIOS or PNPACPI)

[Bjorn Helgaas]

[-- Attachment #1: pnp-platform-devs.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2645 bytes --]

If we can discover devices using PNP, we can skip some legacy probes.
This flag ("pnp_platform_devices") indicates that PNPBIOS or PNPACPI
is enabled and should tell us about builtin devices.

[patch 2/5] PNP: workaround HP BIOS defect that leaves SMCF010 device partly enabled

[Bjorn Helgaas]

[-- Attachment #1: hp-smcf010-quirk.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1753 bytes --]

Some HP/Compaq firmware reports via ACPI that the SMCF010 IR device is
enabled, but in fact, it leaves the device partly disabled.

HP nw8240 BIOS 68DTV Ver. F.0F, released 9/15/2005 is one BIOS that has
this problem.

[patch 4/5] smsc-ircc2: add PNP support

[Bjorn Helgaas]

[-- Attachment #1: smsc-ircc2-add-pnp-probe.patch --]
[-- Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 5168 bytes --]

Claim devices using PNP, unless the user explicitly specified device
addresses.  This can be disabled with the "smsc-ircc2.nopnp" option.

This removes the need for probing legacy addresses and helps untangle
IR devices from serial8250 devices.

Sometimes the SMC device is at a legacy COM port address but does not
use the legacy COM IRQ.  In this case, claiming the device using PNP
rather than 8250 legacy probe means we can automatically use the
correct IRQ rather than forcing the user to use "setserial" to set the
IRQ manually.

If the PNP claim doesn't work, make sure you don't have a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, configured to poke in legacy COM
port resources for the IRDA device.  That causes the serial driver to
claim resources needed by this driver.

Thanks for the reminder.  Here's an updated patch with documentation.


Subject: smsc-ircc2: add PNP support

Claim devices using PNP, unless the user explicitly specified device

This removes the need for probing legacy addresses and helps untangle

port resources for the IRDA device.  That causes the serial driver to
claim resources needed by this driver.

[patch 5/5] x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices

[Bjorn Helgaas]

[-- Attachment #1: x86-change-legacy-serial-to-platform.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7982 bytes --]

Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them
if we have PNP.

This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by
the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g.,

    serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
    00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be
claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA
drivers and administration.

In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init
script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART
stuff back in.  On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel"
option does this.

To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or
ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with
the "legacy_serial.force" option.
