commitc6b9e95ddeupstream. The following in 8250_exar.c line 589 is used to determine the number of ports for each Exar board: nr_ports = board->num_ports ? board->num_ports : pcidev->device & 0x0f; If the number of ports a card has is not explicitly specified, it defaults to the rightmost 4 bits of the PCI device ID. This is prone to error since not all PCI device IDs contain a number which corresponds to the number of ports that card provides. This particular case involves COMMTECH_4222PCIE, COMMTECH_4224PCIE and COMMTECH_4228PCIE cards with device IDs 0x0022, 0x0020 and 0x0021. Currently the multiport cards receive 2, 0 and 1 port instead of 2, 4 and 8 ports respectively. To fix this, each Commtech Fastcom PCIe card is given a struct where the number of ports is explicitly specified. This ensures 'board->num_ports' is used instead of the default 'pcidev->device & 0x0f'.

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.
