I've reverted the offending original commit for now. The fix I see
seems questionable - just ignoring the parport registration will get
rid of the oops, but drivers shouldn't be testing that "p" value
anyway, and it also fundamentally seems to just drop the parport
registration on the floor, so it doesn't seem like a real fix anyway.

So reverting the whole mess seems like the right thing. It's triply
the right thing when it's over a month since the original report, and
this shit made it into my kernel anyway.

Not acceptable.
