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):

setting using_dma to 1 (on)
hda: UDMA/66 mode selected
setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2)

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?

Looks like the patch is correct, the following commit has introduced the
mistake:

Could you resubmit your patch with proper description and sign-off?
