[PATCH 2.6.16.4 2/2] sata_promise: alternative PATA support on pdc2037x without libata interface changes

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

 



Add support for PATA ports on pdc2037x SATA hardware, without changing
libata itself. This is an alternative to the patch by Erik Benada from
early 2005, which makes some libata interface changes.

Signed-off-by: Phil Jordan <phillip.m.jordan@xxxxxxxxx>

Notes:
* Based on current libata development branch and PATA support patch by
Erik Benada from early 2005, which still isn't in main kernel, AFAIK
because of the libata changes it requires
* To avoid the libata interface changes, set the PATA port in
pdc_port_start() callback instead of pdc_ata_init_one(). Consider this a
hack?
* Tested successfully on PDC20376 on the MSI K7N2G-ILSR motherboard in
various PATA/SATA drive attachment configurations
