As commented before, what exactly was corrected ? That is what needs to be
mentioned here. In any case, I fail to see what code change you added between v2
and v3. The code changes are identical in the 2 versions.

Greg,
The above patch is OK but cannot be applied in the current kernel:
* The Legacy IDE drivers were removed in 5.14, replaced by the already existing
* The current equivalent libata driver (drivers/ata/pata_platform.c) already has
the above error check.
So I think this patch needs to go directly to stable # 5.10 and earlier LTS
kernels. Can you take it ?
Feel free to add:

Note that I was not the maintainer of the IDE drivers. If more appropriate
please feel free to replace that with a Reviewed-by tag.
Thanks !
