Okay, it now patches in cleanly. However, I get the following crash on boot:

I have added some of my own debugging. The problem appears to be that
__pata_ep93xx_write gets called from probe (via ata_host_activate), but
ap->private_data (ata_timing) is still null. The timing private_data is
set by pata_ep93xx_set_piomode, but that needs adev->pio_mode set, but I
don't know where this happens. I assume the ATA core handles this. Do I
need to call pata_ep93xx_set_piomode from pata_ep93xx_probe before
ata_host_activate, or should the private_data timing be set to some
default in the probe?

Thanks,
~Ryan
