From e1612de9e4cdf375c3cf1c72434ab8abdcb3927e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haren Myneni <haren@us.ibm.com> Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:18:44 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Disable /dev/port interface on systems without an ISA bridge Some power systems do not have legacy ISA devices. So, /dev/port is not a valid interface on these systems. User level tools such as kbdrate is trying to access the device using this interface which is causing the system crash. This patch will fix this issue by not creating this interface on these powerpc systems.
