[PATCH] 2.4.18 drivers/sound/maestro.c

[Samuel Thibault]

Hi !

maestro.c:3537 takes care about volume button pressing when requesting irq
(maestro_probe) :

	if((ret=request_irq(card->irq, ess_interrupt, SA_SHIRQ, card_names[card_type], card)))
	{
		<snipped>
	}

	/* Turn on hardware volume control interrupt.
	   This has to come after we grab the IRQ above,
	   or a crash will result on installation if a button has been pressed,
	   because in that case we'll get an immediate interrupt. */
	n = inw(iobase+0x18);
	n|=(1<<6);
	outw(n, iobase+0x18);

but not when unloading module : in fact, this bit is never cleared.
Indeed, loading the module, unloading it, and pressing a volume button
immediately crashes.

This cures the problem :

This patch also apply to 2.5 series (tested on 2.5.24) in linux/sound/oss
by using -p3.
