For some reason, sata_mv doesn't clear interrupt status during init when it's running on an SoC host adapter. If the bootloader has touched the SATA controller before starting Linux, Linux can end up enabling the SATA interrupt with events pending, which will cause the interrupt to be marked as spurious and then be disabled, which then breaks all further accesses to the controller. This patch makes the SoC path clear interrupt status on init like in the non-SoC case.

Despite appearances, this patch simply removes a single unnecessary if-stmt from the code. It looks larger due to the resulting change in indentation level. --- old/drivers/ata/sata_mv.c.orig 2009-02-17 09:31:30.000000000 -0500 +++ new/drivers/ata/sata_mv.c 2009-02-19 10:31:28.000000000 -0500 @@ -3114,19 +3114,17 @@ writelfl(0, hc_mmio + HC_IRQ_CAUSE_OFS); } - if (!IS_SOC(hpriv)) { - /* Clear any currently outstanding host interrupt conditions */ - writelfl(0, mmio + hpriv->irq_cause_ofs); - - /* and unmask interrupt generation for host regs */ - writelfl(hpriv->unmask_all_irqs, mmio + hpriv->irq_mask_ofs); - - /* - * enable only global host interrupts for now. - * The per-port interrupts get done later as ports are set up. - */ - mv_set_main_irq_mask(host, 0, PCI_ERR); - } + /* Clear any currently outstanding host interrupt conditions */ + writelfl(0, mmio + hpriv->irq_cause_ofs); + + /* and unmask interrupt generation for host regs */ + writelfl(hpriv->unmask_all_irqs, mmio + hpriv->irq_mask_ofs); + + /* + * enable only global host interrupts for now. + * The per-port interrupts get done later as ports are set up. + */ + mv_set_main_irq_mask(host, 0, PCI_ERR); done: return rc; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
