One remaining hurdle tho is the distinction between board_ahci and board_ahci_pi (whether to honor PORTS_IMPL or not). AHCI class matching uses board_ahci so PI will be ignored by default. There's a pending patch which removes this distinction, so this won't be a problem after the patch is merged. -- tejun - 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
