I know I should have done this earlier and Maybe some parts could be submitted separately? (so keeping them up-to-date in pata-2.6 would be my task) Also I didn't know anything about your patchset and its dependency on TX4939, otherwise I'll be pushing things in different order or even skip this pull request if needed (TX493x drivers are new stuff and were still under review, such things can be also submitted after the merge window closes so they were given the lowest priority). Please ping me about such issues, I'm certainly willing to adjust my workflow if this is going to help other people with their work but I can't do much if I don't know anything... > I'd have done this if its not for my unfortunate vacations...

Also maybe you could get some help with fixing this driver from SGI folks if there are still some issues left?
