Maybe you should leave the driver alone until you can get affirmative testing results from people who have the hardware?!?!? :-/ And in leiu of that, simply leave it alone until such testing can actually be performed. That's why all the IDE drivers are constantly breaking on sparc. The IDE layer is more than legacy at this point, so if you aren't fixing bugs (those reported by users and the fix for which can be absolutely tested), just leave it be. So this totally eliminates any argument you may have about necessary "infrastructure" changes that might be blocked by not being able to make these kinds modifications to drivers for devices you can't even test. -- 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
