From d53cdbb94a52a920d5420ed64d986c3523a56743 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "John W. Linville" Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:39:35 +0200 Subject: ssb: do not read SPROM if it does not exist MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Attempting to read registers that don't exist on the SSB bus can cause hangs on some boxes. At least some b43 devices are 'in the wild' that don't have SPROMs at all. When the SSB bus support loads, it attempts to read these (non-existant) SPROMs and causes hard hangs on the box -- no console output, etc. This patch adds some intelligence to determine whether or not the SPROM is present before attempting to read it. This avoids those hard hangs on those devices with no SPROM attached to their SSB bus. The SSB-attached devices (e.g. b43, et al.) won't work, but at least the box will survive to test further patches. :-) Signed-off-by: John W.
