I tried to compile sata_sil on a 2.6.27 kernel on powerpc32 and I found that
it failed to compile -lots of dmi related errors. I found that I had to
include the broken_systems handling code in #ifdef CONFIG_DMI (DMI is not
supported on platforms other than i386/x86_64).
Lennert on #mklinux told me that this commit broke the non-dmi support, and
that a similar patch to mine is used on ARM systems :
commit e57db7bde7bff95ae812736ca00c73bd5271455b
SATA Sil: Blacklist system that spins off disks during ACPI power off
With this patch, sata_sil compiles on ppc (and I guess on other platforms).
I'm using it for a while with no problems with a Delock 4-port SATA PCI card.
(CC'ing various Lennerts)
What is the breakage?
Ideally the DMI subsystem should be provided wrappers for platforms
without DMI, rendering patches like this unnecessary.
