[irda-users] Question on via-ircc IRQ sharing.

[Remco <re...@d-...>]

I noticed that the via-ircc module is unable to share its IRQ on linux
2.6.11. I don't use this for anything (haven't even got a dongle attached)
but I ran irattach just for fun and it was unable to claim an irq.
Is there a reason for this or should it be able to share ?

In via_ircc_net_open it does:
 request_irq(self->io.irq, via_ircc_interrupt, 0, dev->name, dev))

Is there a reason why it doesn't something like:
 request_irq(self->io.irq, via_ircc_interrupt, SA_SHIRQ, dev->name, dev))

The latter makes it possible to run irattach without any obvious failure,
but as I said I don't even have an IR dongle attached to my motherboard so
I'm not in a position to test this properly.

Just wondering.
