[PATCH] pcmcia: fix sharing IRQs and request_irq without IRQ_HANDLE_PRESENT
Debugging and description from: Noah Misch <noah@cs.caltech.edu> When a driver calls pcmcia_request_irq with IRQ_HANDLE_PRESENT unset, it looks for an open IRQ by request_irq()ing with a dummy handler and NULL dev_info. free_irq uses dev_info as a key for identifying the handler to free among those sharing an IRQ, so request_irq returns -EINVAL if dev_info is NULL and the IRQ may be shared. That unknown error code is the -EINVAL. It looks like only pcnet_cs and axnet_cs are affected. Most other drivers let pcmcia_request_irq install their interrupt handlers. sym53c500_cs requests its IRQ manually, but it cannot share an IRQ. The appended patch changes pcmcia_request_irq to pass an arbitrary, unique, non-NULL dev_info with the dummy handler.
