The other advantage of doing cleanups is that code becomes cleaner/simpler which matters a lot for this codebase, i.e. ide-dma-off-void.patch exposed (yet to be fixed) bug in set_using_dma() (->ide_dma_off_quietly always returns 0 which is passed by ->ide_dma_check to set_using_dma() which incorrectly then calls ->ide_dma_on).
Well, this seems a newly intruduced bug.
The old code is so convulted that it is hard to see it w/o cleanup. :)
->ide_dma_check implementations often do
return hwif->ide_dma_off_quietly(drive);
so the return value of ide_dma_off_quietly() (which is always 0) is passed to
if (HWIF(drive)->ide_dma_check(drive)) return -EIO;
in ide.c:set_using_dma() -> as a result the next line is executed
if (HWIF(drive)->ide_dma_on(drive)) return -EIO;
So, the error seems to call hwif->ide_dma_on() after hwif->ide_dma_check() since hwif->ide_dma_check() must've already called that.
