[ Upstream commit c087df8d1e7dc2e764d11234d84b5af46d500f16 ]
This patch cannot work without changes 2-5 from the series referred:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230108215656.6433-6-sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com
and it's not clear to me if it's worth backporting as I think the problem it addresses may not be critical enough (though indeed it may be a bit annoying to have a non-working parallel port device). Setting `hi' to -1 would be a simple yet crippling workaround, but I gather we don't usually apply changes to -stable that are functionally different from the upstream version.
