Upgraded from CentOS 8.4 to 8.5 and the qcserial driver hangs in usbcore while being unloaded.
Tried also the driver from MBPL_Drivers_USB_R24_ENG3-src.tar.gz with same result.
Seems the ttyUSB3 is not fully disconnecting from the USB bus during rmmod.
[ note: ttyUSB0 is the serial console for this system. ttyUSB1,2,3 are the EM ports ]
The problem did not occur with CentOS 8.4, it only started after upgrade to CentOS 8.5
Has Sierra tested on RedHat/CentOS/OracleLinux 8.5 and seen any similar issue?
Issue is reproducible on multiple EM7455 systems.
Here’s the relevant dmesg showing the lockup:
