Commitfa01e2ca9f("serial: 8250: Integrate Fintek into 8250_base") modified the probing logic for PNP0501 devices, to remove a collision between the generic 16550A driver and the Fintek driver, which reused the same ACPI _HID. The Fintek device probe is now incorporated into the common 8250 probe path, and gets called for all discovered 16550A compatible devices, including ones that are MMIO mapped rather than IO mapped. However, the Fintek driver assumes the port base is a I/O address, and proceeds to probe some arbitrary offsets above it. This is generally a wrong thing to do, but on ARM systems (having no native port I/O), this may result in faulting accesses of completely unrelated MMIO regions in the PCI I/O space. Given that this is at serial probe time, this results in hard to diagnose crashes at boot. So let's restrict the Fintek probe to devices that we know are using port I/O in the first place.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
