Re: [PATCH] libata-core More robust parsing for multi_count(v5)

Tejun,

I need a way to limit the multi_count to a specific maximum
value for sata_mv.  ISTR that some PATA chips may also have
an upper hardware limit on multi_count.

Generally, "8" is safe for all chipsets.  Going above that
requires knowledge of what the chipset can tolerate.

How about a u8 multi_count_max field in the ata_host struct?
Use 0xff for "multi_count not allowed", and anything else
in there as an upper limit for the chipset.

???
