The SATA_PATA_SHARING register doesn't have anything to do with the SATA part of the controller. It indicates whether an extern SATA PHY is attached to the PATA part of the controller and if so how it is wired. As the PATA part is driven by pata_via, sata_via has no reason to care about that. Also, pata_via should work fine under all configurations. This patch removes unnecessary attach failures. It seems recent via chipsets are defaulting to different values or are actually connected to SATA PHY triggering this more often.
