From 4f542e3dd90a96ee0f8fcb8173cb4104f5f753e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 15:07:19 -0800 Subject: pps: claim parallel port exclusively Both pps_parport and pps_gen_parport are written in a way that they can't share a port with any other driver. This can result in locking up the process that loads modules or even the whole kernel if the modules are compiled in. Use PARPORT_FLAG_EXCL to indicate this.
