Now that BMDMA status is recorded in irq handler. ata_bmdma_freeze() is free to manipulate host status. Under certain circumstances, some controllers (ICH7 in enhanced mode w/ IRQ shared) raise IRQ when CTL register is written to and ATA_NIEN doesn't mask it. This patch makes ata_bmdma_freeze() clear all pending IRQs after freezing a port. This change makes explicit clearing in ata_device_add() unnecessary and thus kills it. The removed code was SFF-specific and was in the wrong place. Note that ->freeze() handler is always called under ap->lock held and irq disabled. Even if CTL manipulation causes stuck IRQ, it's cleared immediately. This should be safe (enough) even in SMP environment. More correct solution is to mask the IRQ from IRQ controller but that would be an overkill. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx>
