Subject: [PATCH net-next] staging: irda: force to be a kernel module
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 11:14:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170829091417.GA9481@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170829070929.GA15824@kroah.com>
Now that the IRDA networking code has moved into drivers/staging/, the
link order is changed for when it is initialized if built into the
system. This can cause a crash when initializing as the netfilter core
hasn't been initialized yet.
So force the IRDA code to be built as a module, preventing the crash.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com>
