The register definitions are part of the chip support patch set

At this point I would like to get feedback on the patch and would
expect that it would merge via the linux-mips tree along with the rest
of the chip support.

   Why a libata driver should be merged via the linus-mips tree?

I don't have a strong preference. The driver depends on the processor support *and* it is only relevant to OCTEON based boards. If the

   Most SoC IDE drivers are like that.

linux-ide maintainers would prefer to merge it via their tree that is fine with me.

Thanks,

It's safer to use Tkw instead as it's 215 ns minimum in this mode (in other modes Tkr and Tkw minimums are the same).
   Again, To, Td, and Tkw are returned by ata_timing_find_mode().

   Well, you shouldn't...

Hmm...

    Shouldn't need more margin -- that why those a minimum timings.

Not seeing the reason to use iowrite16() and not writew() as registers are always memory mapped...

I will consider that.

Now that I think again, neither of those is correct. We must treat the data as a stream of bytes.

+                buffer += sizeof(uint16_t);
+                /*
+                 * Every 16 writes do a read so the

+                 */
+                if (--count == 0) {
+                    ioread8(ap->ioaddr.altstatus_addr);
+                    count = 16;
+                }

   This is a strange/slow way of doing anything every 16 data writes.

Oh, how would you do something every 16 writes?

	count = words > 16 ? 16 : words;
	words -= count;
	iowrite16_rep(ptr, data_addr, count);
	ioread(ap->ioaddr.altstatus_addr);

Why not use iowrite16_rep()?

Two reasons.  It is broken, and we need to do something every 16 writes.

   It's not broken -- using iowrite16() is wrong.

We need to be careful not to be anti-social by filling the FIFO. Once the FIFO is filled other cores will be starved of I/O resources.

It's not the first time I'm seeing this driver, so I'm familiar with the trick. Altho I didn't realize that this abuses the shared write buffer.

   How come the error register gets mapped at offset 0xC?
   (Well, that would explain alike part in another CF driver.)

In 16 bit mode it overlaps the data register, so it must be accessed via
> the 0xc address.

Actually, these register *always* overlap. That's the way that IDE thing works. :-) But I'm getting it now -- no way to differ the data read/write from the error/feature register read/write in 16-bit mode.

+irqreturn_t octeon_cf_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_instance)

   Is that a normal IDE interrupt, or some Octeon specific interrupt?

No, It is OCTEON specific. It fires when a DMA operation is complete.

As I mentioned earlier, the normal IDE interrupt is not connected to anything on most boards.

   That's not exactly a good design desicion...

   "ENTER" needs "EXIT", no?

+                if (status & ATA_BUSY) {

   If it's normal IDE interrupt,

Which it is not.  So...

BSY bit will always be 0

...this doesn't hold, thus all this code.

Not necessarily. Depends on when the DMA interrupt occurs. Although it probably predates the IDE interrupt...

   Wait, why have 2 MMIO resources then?

The boards that are 'TrueIDE' use two resources, others only one.

But your probe will abort seeing only one resource. I think this needs to be changed.
