This patch cleans up ata_acpi_exec_tfs() and its friends. * Rename taskfile_array to ata_acpi_gtf and make it __packed as it's used as argument to ACPI method, and use pointer to ata_acpi_gtf and number of taskfiles to represent _GTF taskfiles instead of a pointer casted into unsigned long and byte count. This makes argument re-checking in do_drive_set_taskfiles() unnecessary. * Pointer in void * not in unsigned long. * Clean up do_drive_get_GTF() error handling and make do_drive_get_GTF() return number of taskfiles on success, 0 if _GTF doesn't exist or doesn't contain valid ata. -errno on other errors. * Remove superflous check for acpi->buffer.pointer. * Update taskfile_load_raw() such that printed messages look similar to the messages printed by ata_eh_report().

ACK As an aside, I hate the "do_" prefix on functions. It is utterly redundant. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
