Subject: [PATCH v1 4/6] serial: 8250: Fix corner case for port matching
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:39:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7c105c23bcb12328536cda06d52e6c9cec7d7d22.1785489518.git.ukleinek@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785489518.git.ukleinek@kernel.org>

In the case CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y + CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_HUB6=m
hub6_match_port() evaluates statically to false in
serial8250_match_port() which is a bug and a change in behavior compared
to before commit 7ab80d1e7243 ("serial: 8250: fix compile error with
hub6_match_port() when compiled as a module").

To make the comparison correct, the dummy implementation of
hub6_match_port() must only be used if CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_HUB6 is
disabled. Then as there is a bidirectional dependency between
8250_hub6.c and 8250_core.c, put both in the same module.

Fixes: 7ab80d1e7243 ("serial: 8250: fix compile error with hub6_match_port() when compiled as a module")
