pcmcia/serial release of memory I/O twice

[Jose Alonso]

I am using a pcmcia modem (linux-2.6.3) and when I unplug the
card the kernel warns:
"kernel: Trying to free nonexistent resource <000003e8-000003ef>"

The allocation of I/O address is done in:
module serial_cs:
  simple_config:
    pcmcia_request_io  ---> allocate I/O address
    setup_serial ... serial8250_request_port ---> doesn't allocate I/O
                      (UPF_RESOURCES is not set)

The release of I/O address is done in:
module serial_cs:
  serial_remove:
    unregister_serial ... serial8250_release_port ---> release I/O
    pcmcia_release_io ---> release again the I/O

I suggest the patch bellow:

--- drivers/serial/8250.c.ORIG	2004-02-18 00:57:14.000000000 -0300
+++ drivers/serial/8250.c	2004-02-27 13:31:41.000000000 -0300

+	if (!(up->port.flags & UPF_RESOURCES))
+		return;
 	if (up->port.type == PORT_RSA) {
 		offset = UART_RSA_BASE << up->port.regshift;
 		size = 8;
