[PATCH] More wh patches
Inlined are a few more patches to 2.5.43 that fix problems that were discovered during QA. 1-firm4.07 :: I've moved to the bottom since it's huge Updates the firmware to 4.07. Fixes a bug introduced in 4.05 where RTS is high after boot. Also fixes a bug where the whiteheat would allow data reception after boot when no ports were open. 2-fix-dtr-rts I didn't know this, but the firmware open command also handles raising the signals for me. This code is superflous. 3-fix-read-urb Read polling was started right away in whiteheat_open(). Coupled with the firmware bug fixed above where data could be received by a port that wasn't open, this caused the whiteheat_read_callback to fire before open() was finished, and in some cases this caused harm to the tty layer. I didn't track down the exact mechanism because either moving the read polling to the last operation of open() or using the fixed firmware caused the crash to stop happening. I have stack traces if you'd like to have a look; it looks like something scribbles on the stack, but I couldn't figure out what eactly, as the scribbled data didn't match anything in the whiteheat driver or the test applications. 4-fix-ixoff RELEVANT_IFLAG masks off the software flow control bits, so that a change that is restricted to the soft flow bits will be ignored. This is the email I sent earlier; I've decided to just not use the macro for now, but I'd still like to know if the macro should be fixed,. ..Stu
