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.
This renaming was discussed at the time on lkml and linux-ide, the patches and git pushes were CC'd, and I do not recall these complaints being raised at the time.
At this point, it's too ingrained in libata. Another rename would IMO just cause more needless churn.
