- correct the chipset names (from CMDxxx to PCI-xxx)
Please explain why this rename is a correction.
Because the chips are officially named PCI064[036] and PCI-64[89].
We normally name things with a combination of brand and chip number.
Lots of companies could have chips with PCI in the name,
but the CMD64x designator makes it quite clear what we're dealing
with here.
Note that I'm only changing designator in the procfs output, i.e.
not something important to end user.
Err.. in this case, the procfs output *is* there for the end-user.
Aha, that's why it was removed form the most IDE drivers I guess. :-)
Using the name printed on the chip, which matches the cmdxxx.c driver name,
is by far the least confusing way to do it here.
And I'm using the name printed on the chip.
In the machines I have here with these chips,
they are clearly labelled as "CMD" and then "PCI646.."
Although I've never seen the chip, I guess that should be logo, not
the name.
Then perhaps you should test the scheme against the real hardware
before patching it.
LOL. There's thing called remote testing -- I guess you never bothered to look at the patches themselves.
