Modify db9 driver to use the new Parallel Port device model. Signed-off-by: Sudip Mukherjee <redacted> --- v2: an extra check was removed. db9_base could not be removed. Already mailed you the reasons, reference is at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/8/3/403Hi Dmitry, I was telling you on the other thread that to remove db9_base we will need to modify the parport code and then it has to be tested by everyone again and that will also change the old behaviour of parport. The v2 to which I am replying now is still having that db9_base. Please see the following patch, this is the minimum change required to update db9 driver. Personally I donot like this approach as in this method if a parallel port is hotplugged after this driver is loaded then it will not work. Please let me know your views on the posted v2 and also on the following proposal.
Hi Dmitry, Did you have a chance to look at this? Pali Rohár has the hardware and he is ready to test it. regards sudip
