I intend to yes :-) Along with my WIP pata_macio of course but I don't like leaving a driver broken and/or non bisectable, believe me. > You may want to look at ACPI hotplug dock handling for inspiration > (if you haven't already). Thanks, I will. I've been busy with all sorts of other things so no, I haven't looked yet, and it's a bit less urgent, but thanks for the pointer, > There is no longer any hackery on IDE core code side in 2.6.26, there are > just two nice methods: ide_port_unregister_devices() and ide_scan_port(). Sure but the fact that mediabay calls them directly makes it painful to deal with 2 drivers, one using drivers/ide and one libata. So I want to turn that into a notification into the low level driver so it does what is appropriate. > Therefore I would prefer to also update ide-pmac for new methods and just > add what is needed (if any) to IDE core code. Sure. I don't think I will need to change any of the core. > [ Please keep me in loop on these mediabay changes. ] I'll let you know when I get something done.
