The Marvell bridge chips used on HighPoint SATA cards do not seem to support the UltraDMA modes 1, 2, and 3 (as well as any MWDMA modes), so the driver needs to account for this in the udma_filter() method. In order to achieve that, do the following changes:
- install the method for all chips, not only HPT36x/370 (improve code formatting by killing an extra tabs while at it);
- add to the end of the 'switch' statement in hpt3xx_udma_filter() case for HPT372[AN] and HPT374 chips upon which the SATA cards are based and check there whether we're dealing with SATA drive (by looking at words 80 and 93 of the drive's identify data), reorder HPT370[A] cases for consistency...

Also now that ->udma_filter is always present the initial hwif->ultra_mask
Aha, so this method's semantics intended to *completely override* the ultra_mask field?! Wouldn't it be better to make the code behave more consistent, i.e. in ide_get_mode_mask() do:
unsigned int mask = 0; switch(base) { case XFER_UDMA_0: if ((id->field_valid & 4) == 0) break; if (hwif->udma_filter) mask = hwif->udma_filter(drive); else mask = hwif->ultra_mask; mask &= id->dma_ultra; if ((mask & 0x78) && (eighty_ninty_three(drive) == 0)) mask &= 0x07; break; case XFER_MW_DMA_0: if ((id->field_valid & 2) == 0) break; if (hwif->mdma_filter) mask = hwif->mdma_filter(drive); else mask = hwif->mwdma_mask; mask &= id->dma_mword; break; to avoid the further confusion? ;-)
