Hello,
I am getting following error when trying to set DMA transfer mode as UDMA2 on latest DaVinci (DM6467) git kernel using hdparm (9.27 or older):
# ./hdparm -d1 -Xudma2 /dev/hda
/dev/hda:hda: UDMA/66 mode selected
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
hda: UDMA/66 mode selected
setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2)
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Invalid argument
using_dma = 1 (on)
It seems DMA mode setting other than the default mode returns this error. That is, if I use "-Xudma4" in above command it returns success as UDMA4 is the default mode on DM6467.
I made following change which allows hdparm to set any supported DMA mode. Can anyone confirm if this is a hdparm compatibility (incorrect use of ioctl?) or the patch below indeed fixes the issue?
