SFF stands for "Small Form Factor", as in the "SFF Committee Information

That document is basically a committee rubber-stamp of the earlier Intel
"PCI IDE Controller Specification Revision 1.0" dated 3/4/94.
Ah.. that means we have the whole naming thing wrong. Yewwww....
..
I suppose. If we were needlessly pedantic, then perhaps
the libata-bmdma.c should be renamed to libata-sff.c,
and the libata-sff.c should be renamed libata-tf.c
Which branch has libata-bmdma.c?
But there's probably been a document or two since then,
where the SFF folks have documented the TF interfaces, too.
Don't know, at least I haven't encountered such spec. Unless you mean
SFF-8020i (ATAPI CD-ROM spec).
So.. whatever. :)
