Hello.

I'm writting IDE host driver for AT91 Static Memory Controller with Compact Flash
True IDE logic. My company - Kelvatek wants to add driver into the mainline,
we think it can be usesfull for others and including driver will be also beneficial
for us obviously.

  If everybody looked at it that way...

Some issues with driver:

* Why not platform driver

  But it is a platform driver. :-)

Generic pata/ide_platform driver will not work with AT91 as we need to

 Ah, why not generic...

do special things before access Task File and Data Register (functions set_8bit_mode() and set_16bit_mode()).

That part really doesn't look well -- Atmel should have put more though into it and make the register stride 2 bytes, so that 16-bit access could alwys be used...

* Tests
We tested with our custom board which is slightly diffrent than
Atmel Evaluation Kit. Pins settings in the patch are from Kelvatek's board,
to run driver on sam9263ek board settings shall be changed.

I then don't understand how are you submitting this as a part of SAM9623EK board code...

We did not tests on Atmel sam9263ek board, because we have no proper connector
for 1,8'' HDD.

Not sure I've understood that. You have 1,8'' drive and the board has stndard IDE connector?

* GPIO interrupt
This is the most problem with the driver/hardware. Interrupt from device is
delivered through GPIO. In AT91 GPIO interrupts are triggered on falling
and raising edge of signal (this behaviour is not configured IIRC). Whereas

  Ugh... what were they thinking?

IDE device request interrupt on high level (raising edge in our case). This

  The IDE interrupts historically trigger on rising edge.

mean we have fake interrupts requests on cpu, which broke IDE layer. Problem can be solved in hardware: when device INTRQ line is connected
to CPU through AIC controlled IRQ0 or IRQ1 lines with proper level configured.
We probably do such things in our board, but it's is rather impossible
for Atmel Evaluation Kit. Also there is workaround in software: check interrupt
pin value and exit instantly from ISR when line is on low level. Such thing
is done in the patch (AT91_GPIO_IRQ_HACK in drivers/ide/ide-io.c), but
this is dirty hack and should implemented differently (I hope someone
could give my good idea how).

We need to teach IDE core that IRQ handler can be different from the default one.

* Performance
Driver works only in PIO mode, we have no hardware for DMA mode. Probably hardware support could be done using another Chip Select
with Static Memory Controller and extra external logic. Maybe Atmel
people could tell someting more about this issue?

  I wouldn't hope on that... :-)

On PIO4 mode I achieve 4,5MB/s

  Seems a good result actually. How it was measured?

I'm not sure why you're fixing the data float timing to 2 cycles -- it correponds to the t6z timing which is 30 ns for ATA modes and 20 ns for CF specific ones...
  Why are you not using optimized data float mode?

  No empty line after declaration.

+	tmp *= mck_hz;
+	tmp += 1000*1000*1000 + 1; /* round up */

You probably mean -1 if you intend to just round up (so tmp += 999999999).

+	};

  Well, you've already received comments on this one...
  I've already started the patch adding support of the CFA modes.

+	unsigned int t0, t1, t2, t2i, t9;
+	unsigned int mck_hz;
+	struct clk *mck;
+	unsigned long mode;
+
+	BUG_ON(pio > 6);
+
+	t0 = timings[pio].t0;
+	t1 = timings[pio].t1;
+	t2 = timings[pio].t2;
+	t2i = timings[pio].t2i;
+	t9 = timings[pio].t9;
+
+	if (t2i > 0) {
+		/* t1 is the part of t2i, let's t9 be the rest of t2i */
+ WARN_ON(t2i < t1);

  Doesn't happen.

+		if (t9 < t2i - t1)
+			t9 = t2i - t1;

It more sense to calculate such things *after* quantizing the timings with calc_mck_cycles()...

+	mck = clk_get(NULL, "mck");
+	BUG_ON(IS_ERR(mck));
+	mck_hz = clk_get_rate(mck);

Why not call clk_get[_rate]() only once, at startup? It can change dynamically?

+	t0 = calc_mck_cycles(t0, mck_hz);
+	t1 = calc_mck_cycles(t1, mck_hz);
+	t2 = calc_mck_cycles(t2, mck_hz);
+	t2i = calc_mck_cycles(t2i, mck_hz);

  If you're not using t2i, why quantize it?

+	t9 = calc_mck_cycles(t9, mck_hz);
+	pdbg("t0=%u t1=%u t2=%u t2i=%u t9=%u\n", t0, t1, t2, t2i, t9);

  Besides, we have ide_timing_compute() doing the same thing.

+	/* values are rounded up so we need to assure cycle is larger than pulse */
+	if (t0 < t1 + t2 + t9)
+		t0 = t1 + t2 + t9;
+
+	/* setup calculated timings */
+	at91_sys_write(AT91_SMC_SETUP(chipselect), AT91_SMC_NWESETUP_(t1) |
+						   AT91_SMC_NCS_WRSETUP_(0) |
+						   AT91_SMC_NRDSETUP_(t1) |
+						   AT91_SMC_NCS_RDSETUP_(0));
+	at91_sys_write(AT91_SMC_PULSE(chipselect), AT91_SMC_NWEPULSE_(t2) |
+						   AT91_SMC_NCS_WRPULSE_(t1 + t2 + t9) |

 With zero address to CS setup time it's the same as t0.

+						   AT91_SMC_NRDPULSE_(t2) |
+						   AT91_SMC_NCS_RDPULSE_(t1 + t2 + t9));

  Same here.

+	/* disable or enable waiting for IORDY signal */
+	mode = at91_sys_read(AT91_SMC_MODE(chipselect));
+	mode &= ~AT91_SMC_EXNWMODE;
+	if (pio <= 4)

The IORDY loigic is not as simple -- you'd better use ata_id_has_iordy() for PIO modes < 5.

+		mode |= AT91_SMC_EXNWMODE_FROZEN;

  No, it should be READY mode.

+ else + mode |= AT91_SMC_EXNWMODE_DISABLE;

  This constant is 0, so else branch can be skipped.

+	.pio_mask = ATA_PIO6,

  No support for mode 6 yet, working on it.

  -ENODEV fits here better than -ENOMEM.
  You also need to call request_mem_region()

+#if 0

  This is ghenerall frowned on...

+	/* In 12-0275-01 version of the PCB address

You should try to communicate such info to the driver via the platfrom data...

+	hw.io_ports.command_addr = tf_base + 7;

  I suggest using hw.io_ports_array instead.

+	hw.irq = board->irq_pin;

  Why not pass it normally, via the platform device's resource?
