That's just a workaround that manually forces MSI to be disabled. If you look at the lspci output in that other bug report, you see that MSI is also disabled for the card reader in that system: 02:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 5249 (rev 01) [snip] Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
The workaround just bypasses the same erroneous line of code in the driver. The patch mentioned in this bug report is a more correct and general fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1366841 Title: mfd: rtsx_pcr: Fix MSI enable error handling Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in “linux” source package in Utopic: In Progress Bug description: This patch has been submitted upstream and is queued up for inclusion in mfd-next: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/lee/mfd.git/commit/?h =for-mfd-next&id=eb61b3276e099d937fcdae2c67aec4766bba2dc3 Please include this patch in Trusty and Utopic.
