Subject[PATCH] Enable legacy support for serial ports when SERIAL_8250_PNP is disabled
Hi Bjorn,
your patch:

commit 7e92b4fc345f5b6f57585fbe5ffdb0f24d7c9b26
Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
Date: Tue May 8 00:36:07 2007 -0700

x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devices

disables probing using legacy code in favour of ACPI/PNP to avoid double
discovery.

However if SERIAL_8250_PNP is not enabled the user is left without
serial ports (been there, done that - my kernel config suddenly wasn't
working anymore). So:

Enable probing of serial ports using legacy code when PNP code
(SERIAL_8250_PNP) is not enabled.

La vispa candela bruciava l'erbetta
creando un'essenza alquanto sospetta;
sembrava l'odore di una sacrestia
ma presto mi accorsi che era maria.
