Thanks! That problem must be lkml.kernel.org/g/1459978040-2226-1-git-send-email-a...@redhat.com . Ie, the fact that CONFIG_DEVPORT "cannot really be used and it allows us to crash a kernel from user space" on arm64. > Tested-by: Al Stone I fail to see how this patch helps your problem. And if one applies this patch on top of v4.6-rc4 and does make ARCH=arm64 defconfig one gets a .config that still has CONFIG_DEVPORT=y So my guess is that it wasn't this patch that solved that arm64 problem.

This solves the particular problem I was running into on an arm64 AMD Seattle
system. Thanks!

[PATCH] char: Drop bogus dependency of DEVPORT on !M68K
According to full-history-linux commit d3794f4fa7c3edc3 ("[PATCH] M68k
update (part 25)"), port operations are allowed on m68k if CONFIG_ISA is
defined.
However, commit 153dcc54df826d2f ("[PATCH] mem driver: fix conditional
on isa i/o support") accidentally changed an "||" into an "&&",
disabling it completely on m68k. This logic was retained when
introducing the DEVPORT symbol in commit 4f911d64e04a44c4 ("Make
/dev/port conditional on config symbol").
Drop the bogus dependency on !M68K to fix this.
Fixes: 153dcc54df826d2f ("[PATCH] mem driver: fix conditional on isa i/o
support")
