* Why not platform driver
Generic pata/ide_platform driver will not work with AT91 as we need to
do special things before access Task File and Data Register (functions
set_8bit_mode() and set_16bit_mode()). Also extra things needs to be
done when changing PIO mode.
Why not use libata?
Why libata? You absolutely need the larger code footprint with the added
"bonus" of SCSI disk emulation? :-)
There's already a pata_at32 driver there which
should be usable on at91 with perhaps a few minor changes.
Well, if there's already close driver, it changes the matter...
