Hi,
Current linux kernel failes to communicate with PMP chip used in Thermaltake
BlackX Duet (ST0015E) external drive, adding same quirks (some of them may not
be necessary) as other chips have fixes it (tested on AHCI driver, on JMB363
and ICH10R)
Please note that this patch is purposefully not in state includable in
mainline, it is meant as a base for someone with more understanding of libata
to make a proper fix
Thanks
Pavel Herrmann

Subject: [PATCH] libata-pmp: add support for Thermaltake BlackX Duet esata drive dock
some errors still show up, but the dock works, both drives can be
accessed at the same time
the chip maker and designation is unknown - possibly jmicron JMB350?
