One thing that's puzzling me about the ppc(4) driver's ISA
routines is that it only checks to see whether or not the device has
an IO error:
(from sys/dev/ppc/ppc_isa.c)
@@ -121,8 +121,8 @@
parent = device_get_parent(dev);
error = ISA_PNP_PROBE(parent, dev, lpc_ids);
if (error == ENXIO)
return (ENXIO);
if (error != 0) /* XXX shall be set after detection */
device_set_desc(dev, "Parallel port");
But what about the case where ENOENT is returned :)?
(from sys/isa/isa_common.c)
static int
isa_pnp_probe(device_t dev, device_t child, struct isa_pnp_id *ids)
{
struct isa_device* idev = DEVTOISA(child);
if (!idev->id_vendorid)
return (ENOENT);
while (ids && ids->ip_id) {
/*
* Really ought to support >1 compat id per device.
*/
if (idev->id_logicalid == ids->ip_id
|| idev->id_compatid == ids->ip_id) {
if (ids->ip_desc)
device_set_desc(child, ids->ip_desc);
return (0);
}
ids++;
}
return (ENXIO);
}
Does it make sense for this patch to be applied to ppc(4)? I think
it solves some problems with bogus device.hints files and the ppc
driver, but my eye is a bit untrained for this stuff and I don't have
the experience to say with absolute authority whether or not it's the
case.
Thanks,
