From f2b8dfd9e480c3db3bad0c25c590a5d11b31f4ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Boyer Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 10:33:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] serial: 8250: Keep 8250. module options functional after driver rename With commit 835d844d1 (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe), the 8250 driver was renamed to 8250_core. This means any existing usage of the 8259. module parameters or as a kernel command line switch is now broken, as the 8250_core driver doesn't parse options belonging to something called "8250". To solve this, we redefine the module options in a dummy function using a redefined MODULE_PARAM_PREFX when built into the kernel. In the case where we're building as a module, we provide an alias to the old 8250 name. The dummy function prevents compiler errors due to global variable redefinitions that happen as part of the module_param_ macro expansions.
