From d0d4f69bb65a8c1c1430c577a583632709b874c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjorn Helgaas Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:36:05 -0700 Subject: smsc-ircc2: add PNP support MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
