Linus Torvalds a3ac7917b7 Revert "parport: daisy: use new parport device model" 
This reverts commit 1aec421120.

Steven Rostedt reports that it causes a hang at bootup and bisected it
to this commit.

The troigger is apparently a module alias for "parport_lowlevel" that
points to "parport_pc", which causes a hang with

    modprobe -q -- parport_lowlevel

blocking forever with a backtrace like this:

    wait_for_completion_killable+0x1c/0x28
    call_usermodehelper_exec+0xa7/0x108
    __request_module+0x351/0x3d8

    daisy_drv_init+0x31/0x4f [parport]
    parport_bus_init+0x5d/0x7b [parport]
    parport_default_proc_register+0x26/0x1000 [parport]

    do_init_module+0x50/0x1d4
    load_module+0x1c2e/0x21b3
    sys_init_module+0xef/0x117

Supid says:
 "Due to the new device model daisy driver will now try to find the
  parallel ports while trying to register its driver so that it can bind
  with them. Now, since daisy driver is loaded while parport bus is
  initialising the list of parport is still empty and it tries to load
  the lowlevel driver, which has an alias set to parport_pc, now causes
  a deadlock"

But I don't think the daisy driver should be loaded by the parport
initialization in the first place, so let's revert the whole change.

If the daisy driver can just initialize separately on its own (like a
driver should), instead of hooking into the parport init sequence
directly, this issue probably would go away.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
