Hi Wang,
A bug was opened against the Ubuntu kernel[0]. After a kernel bisect,
it was found that reverting the following commit resolved this bug:
commit 8d2f8cd424ca0b99001f3ff4f5db87c4e525f366
Author: Wang YanQing <[email protected]>
Date: Fri Mar 1 11:47:20 2013 +0800
serial: 8250_pci: add support for another kind of NetMos Technology
PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller
The regression was introduced as of v3.9-rc3 and still exists in the
current Mainline tree. It was also propagated to the stable trees.
The patch causes the device to use the serial module instead of
parport_serial. Maybe the the quirk in ~drivers/pci/quirks.c
quirk_netmos() needs to be modified?
I see that you are the author of this patch, so I wanted to run this by
you. I was thinking of requesting a revert, but I wanted to get your
feedback first.
Thanks,
Joe

You missed the conversation we had about this already this weekend :)
The offending patch has already been reverted and will propagate to the
stable trees soon.
thanks,

Hi all,
I am sorry for it and later reply.
But I am sure I have included the parport_serial in the
kernel for my consumers at the time they report their
PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller didn't work which cause
this "culprit" patch.
I don't have the card in hand right now, so I can't
dig into it. After stare into parport_serial.c, yes,
it seems like it will handle this pci serial card.
Maybe I forget or miss something, I hope.
Thanks.
