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.
I wasn't watching libata activity even to such a small extent that I'm
doing it now, and I haven't found the discussion now.
At this point, it's too ingrained in libata. Another rename would IMO
just cause more needless churn.
Well, renaming -bmdma to -sff was logical. What's not so logical is that
module covering not only BMDMA activities but also taskfile access.
