Actually... NVMHCI[1] uses the same style of id string extraction, even
though its command set is wholly new and unrelated to ATA. I copied
into drivers/block/nvmhci.c[2] id_string, id_c_string and another
useful, generic routine: ata_wait_register.
So, once nvmhci goes upstream, that will be a third copy... nvmhci
still has rough edges, but it's mainly waiting on hardware "it works"
verification at this point.
For two copies, copying seems to be the right way to go. For many
more copies, making a library function is. Three is a difficult
number. Maybe just make these inline functions for now?
<shrug> I'm just adding some data, I don't have a good suggestion :)
The functions do not change very often, so three copies is not
necessarily the end of the world.
