[PATCH 4.9 001/152] ppdev: check before attaching port

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 10 2017 - 13:55:24 EST


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

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

From: Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@xxxxxxxxx>

commit dd5c472a60e43549d789a17a8444513eec64bd7e upstream.

After parport starts using the device model, all pardevice drivers
should decide in their match_port callback function if they want to
attach with that particulatr port. ppdev has been converted to use the
new parport device-model code but pp_attach() tried to attach with all
the ports.
Create a new array of pointer and use that to remember the ports we
have attached. And use that information to skip attaching ports which
we have already attached.
