It's generally frowned upon to hide all the detail in macros, it is much
easier to read and understand the code if you don't do this.

+#define TX4939IDE_BASE(hwif)	((hwif)->io_ports.data_addr & ~0xfff)

Why do you have void __iomem casts all over the write methods not in the
_BASE() method - that would let sparse do its job properly

I don't get why there's need for & at all -- isn't IDE data register address always on 4K boundary?

You don't actually need the first test.

No, he does need it -- in order not to clamp the new PIO mode based on the previosly selected one. Although, one should call ide_get_paired_drive() ISO this loop.

This also appears wrong. In your
tests MW_DMA_0 is 'faster' than PIO4 but in fact MW_DMA_0 PIO timings are
*slower* than PIO4 so the mode is not in fact slower.

I don't think it's about the DMA timings at all. Though indeed, MWDMA0/1 do (iff it's drive's max) implies slower max PIO mode than PIO4.

+	case XFER_MW_DMA_1:
+	case XFER_MW_DMA_0:
+	case XFER_PIO_4:
+		value |= 0x0400;
+		break;

This looks odd according to the speed tables. Can you clarify what is
going on ?

This apparently selects the command PIO timing safest for both drives but does this incorrectly -- the current DMA (or even PIO) mode shouldn't be a part of the equation. There are several examples how to do this including siimage.c and cs5535.c...
