[1] ata2: reset failed, giving up

On 3/12/07, Tejun Heo <htejun@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
->prereset() returns -ENOENT to tell libata that the port is empty and
reset sequencing should be stopped.  This is not an error condition.
Update ata_eh_reset() such that it sets device classes to ATA_DEV_NONE
and return success in on -ENOENT.  This makes spurious error message
go away.

This should do it and better fits the intention of the return value.
Two things to note.

1. I think these ports should be made dummy instead of returning
-ENOENT on prereset().  -ENOENT from prereset() was a hack to keep
ata_piix's behavior unchanged while converting it to new EH.  If no
one objcts, I'll convert similar usages to use dummy ports after new
init model and drop -ENOENT hack in #upstream.

2. -ENODEV sounds more appropriate.  Why have I used -ENOENT.  :-)

Thanks.
