Hi, this is a third version of EP93xx PATA driver (PATCH v3 1/3), IDE platform code for ep93xx (PATCH v3 2/3) and IDE support for EDB93xx boards (PATCH v3 3/3). Patches apply to current mainline (v3.4rc2). v2: - don't BUG() in ep93xx_pata_dma_start(), ep93xx_pata_dma_setup(), - don't use ata_ioports structure for EP93xx IDECTRL register values, - IORDY timeout handling using jiffies (ep93xx_pata_wait_for_iordy), - IDE/GPIO pin muxing solved by adding ep93xx_ide_acquire/release_gpio, - register the driver also for EDB9312 and EDB9315 boards, - corrected many coding style issues, - dma initialization changed: request and configure channels in ep93xx_pata_dma_init (was: request in ep93xx_pata_dma_init, configuration in ep93xx_pata_dma_setup - channels were needlessly configured to the same values before each transfer). v3: - use custom delay loop (ep93xx_pata_delay()) instead of ndelay(), - use ata_timing_compute() and ata_timing_merge() to properly calculate timings for the delay loop, - use single ata_timing struct in ep93xx_pata_data for both IDE register and PIO data transfers, - IORDY timeout handling using custom delay loop, - move common parts of code from ep93xx_pata_{read/write}() to ep93xx_pata_rw_begin(), ep93xx_pata_rw_end(), - introduce ep93xx_pata_{read/write}_{reg/data}() - wrappers which call ep93xx_pata_{read/write}() with proper timings selected, - corrected delays in ep93xx_pata_{read/write}: time waited for IORDY is added to t2; wait (t0 - t2) or t2i (whichever is greater) after deassertion of DIOW-/DIOR-, - removed DPRINTK, VPRINTK. The reason for using custom delay loop is that currently ndelay() has only 1us resolution on ep93xx. Using ndelay() gives us about 6 - 7us total execution time for each IDE register/PIO data transfer. This results in ~250kB/s transfers, no matter what PIO mode is selected. Using custom delay loop, this driver transfers data at ~2,1MB/s (PIO4). Is using such delay loop in the driver acceptable?
