Patrick May reported that his sound card with CMI8378 chip causes a
crash / reboot when accessing the MIDI port that isn't actually
present on the board. Moreover, despite of the documentation,
passing mpu_port=0 doesn't disable the MIDI port on this board.
It implies that the chip is a newer revision and the MPU401 port is
integrated and mapped on the PCI register. For this chip model, the
driver enables the MPU port unconditionally, so far.
Although fixing the unexpected reboot would be the best solution, it's
not so trivial to identify the cause. So, as a plan B, this patch
extends the existing mpu_port option usage to allow disabling the port
by specifying the value 0, just like we applied for fm_port option in

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.
