Currently the libata pata patch code calls a filter function if present which returns an updated bitmap for the mode type. I did that because we need to combine the cable, bridge, core and chip specific rules neatly and not have one forcing a mode the other cannot do. > ->pre_set_mode(ap) is okay but then the LLDD should iterate over all > devices. Maybe ->pre_set_mode(ap, dev) or ->filter_xfer_mask(ap, dev)? Providing 1. The proposed speeds are set for both devices on the cable before the call. 2. We reselect the speed of both devices on changedown or hotplug then we should be just fine. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
