Your code uses 4-space indentation instead of single-tab -- this style is not acceptable. I'd advise to run the patch thru scripts/checkpatch.pl to find and fix the coding style mistakes.

The problem is mainly my mailer settings: it deforms the patch output. Perhaps next time I should send the patch as an attachment?

Well, if the IDE maintainer doesn't mind, I don't either. Just make sure the attachment will have the MIME type of text/plain.

Writing 0 to this register generates an invalid cycle on IDE bus if I don't mistake (CS0/1 and DIOR/W all asserted), are you sure you want this?

Zero (0) is the default value for the IDE Configuration Register, as stated in EP93xx User's Guide (Section 27, page 11). Besides, CS0/1 and DIOR/W lines are controlled through IDE Control Register.

   Sorry, I seem to have mixed them up...

In that case, perhaps it would be best to have it also set to it's default value, deasserting DIOR/W as well:

writel((IDECTRL_CS0N | IDECTRL_CS1N | IDECTRL_DIORN | IDECTRL_DIOWN), IDE_REGISTER(IDECTRL));

   Yes, that's what I had in mind...

   Masking is pointless, it's achieved by truncation to 'u8'.

I don't see what warrants minimum active/recovery time here. And I don't see how you're supporitng PIO modes 3/4 as you're not checking -IORDY.

So, you're saying I should check for the IORDY value at the beginning and end of each transfer?

   Only before deasserting -DIOx.

What exactly do you mean by 'warrant minimum active/recovery time'? Should I insert manual delays to ensure timing issues?

Yes, since Cirrus seems to have left you with no option other than bit-banging to emulate I/O cycles, you'll have to use delays...

   Put spaces after ; please.

+        *data++ = ep93xx_ide_pio_readw(base, addr);

Is this little-endian only code? If not, it's not valid in the big endian mode...

Should I instead use array-indexing code such as:

for (; len; len--, i++)
   data[i] = ep93xx_ide_pio_readw(base, addr);

And the same for 'ep93xx_ide_pio_writesw()' function?

No, it won't change anything. You should use cpu_to_le16() -- unless somehow ep93xx_ide_pio_readw() always returns little-endian data...
