[PATCH/RFC] ahci: add support for VIA VT8251

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch adds AHCI support for the VIA VT8251 chipset. The patch does so by:
	1) Adding the PCI device ID.
	2) Adding a workaround in ahci_probe_reset() for a VIA hardware bug.

The patch is based upon the patch[1] provided by VIA. With the softreset and 
probing work that has been merged, this patch has become much simpler.

I am happy to report that without the workaround in ahci_probe_reset(), the 
chipset works quite well; both my SATA drives are recognised. However, 
softreset does not work (but hardreset does), and ata_std_probeinit delays, 
for my primary SATA drive/port,  due to the "busy" bug. A Command List 
Override will unbusy the drive/port.

Since the CLO sequence also appears in ahci_softreset(), I have moved that 
code into a new ahci_clo() function.

This patch is against 2.6.17-rc1 (and -mm2).

This patch has only been tested by yours truly. Whilst I am waiting for 
feedback from other people, I am sending this patch to solicit comments.

NOTE: My email client cuts off some lines (of context) in my patch because 
they are longer than 78 characters. Therefore, I am making the patch 
available from my web server [2], as well.
