[PATCH v3] ACPI: scan: Avoid registering platform devices with resource overlaps

From: Rafael J. Wysocki

Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 06:23:42 EST


From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

If acpi_dev_get_resources() returns overlapping I/O or memory resources,
the subsequent registration of a platform device will fail with -EBUSY
due to a resource conflict. This is reported to happen on Acer Aspire
ES1-572 [1].

Avoid that by adjusting resources returned by acpi_dev_get_resources()
to eliminate partial overlaps between them.

This has not been regarded as necessary before because putting
overlapping resources into the _CRS of one device is really pointless,
but now that the issue has been reported to actually happen in the
field, it needs to be done.

v2 -> v3:
* Use resource_union() and adjust code and comment (Andy)
* Include ioport.h directly

v1 -> v2:
* Add the expanded resource instead of and not in addition to the other
overlapping one (Sashiko)
