    [PATCH] ioc4_serial: Remove bogus error message · d38e24e2
    Brent Casavant authored
    This change removes a bogus error message from the IOC4 serial driver
    interrupt handler.
    
    This error message is bogus for two reasons.  First, it can never occur
    given that current code takes care to initialize IOC4 in such a way that
    these "unknown" interrupts could never occur.  Second, this code fails to
    take into account that other drivers can share the IOC4 interrupt mechanism
    through SA_SHIRQ, and thus this driver is not in-fact "all-knowing".
    
    Finally, this error message triggers every time some "unknown" interrupt
    occurs -- it's not rate limited or repetition limited in any way, thereby
    effectively denying use of the console device.  Given its bogosity in the
    first place, it's best to just get rid of it entirely.
