    smsc-ircc2: add PNP support · d0d4f69b
    Bjorn Helgaas authored
    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.
