I suppose.   If we were needlessly pedantic, then perhaps
the libata-bmdma.c should be renamed to libata-sff.c,

   It *was* renamed to libata-sff.c, back in 2006. :-)

and the libata-sff.c should be renamed libata-tf.c

   Not before splitting SFF-8038i stuff from it.

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).

I've looked thru the list of their spec. and it didn't seem to have any about taskfile specifically. SFF-8070 (ATAPI CD-RW) refers to ATA/PI-4 for that matter.

Aik... We can do s/sff/tf/ and leave bmdma alone to avoid even more confusion but sff has meant tf base interface for quite some time now in libata and I think it'll be better to remember that sff is the new tf. Sorry about the mess.

Thanks.
