5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pei Xiao <redacted>

commit 8b585431a16cfb9d8f2955a9fa0787ce3dceb3c2 upstream.

When an invalid value is passed via the "eisa_irq_edge=" kernel
command line parameter (e.g. "eisa_irq_edge=16,5"), eisa_irq_setup()
prints an error message and continues without advancing the current
position.  As a result the same invalid value is parsed again and
again, causing an infinite loop while the kernel boots.

Advance to the next comma-separated entry, or stop parsing when there
is no next entry, before continuing so that the remaining entries are
processed normally.
