adev->dma_mode stores the transfer mode value not UDMA mode number so the condition in cmd64x_set_dmamode() is always true and the higher UDMA clock is always selected. This can potentially result in data corruption when UDMA33 device is used, when 40-wire cable is used or when the error recovery code decides to lower the device speed down. The issue was introduced in the commit 6a40da0 ("libata cmd64x: whack into a shape that looks like the documentation") which goes back to kernel 2.6.20.
