The reason why it is called Zhaoxin SATA is actually to express that it
applies
to all Zhaoxin support of its separate chipset/SOC, for example,
ZX-100S/ZX-200
chipsets.

As mentioned before, the chipset models this driver serves  are ZX-100S
and ZX-200
currently.

Okay, I'll adjust  it like this?
  ...
  struct ata_port *ap = link->ap;
  int pmp = link->pmp;
  int tmprc;

 rc = sata_std_hardreset(link, class, deadline);
 if (rc && rc != -EAGAIN) {
        ata_link_err(link, "COMRESET failed (errno=%d) ap=%d link %d\n",
                       rc, link->ap->port_no, link->pmp);
         return rc;
 }

  if(pmp){
     ap->ops->sff_dev_select(ap,pmp);
     tmprc=ata_sff_wait_ready(&ap->link,deadline);
 }else
    tmprc=ata_sff_wait_ready(link,deadline);

  if(tmprc)
      ata_link_err(link,"COMRESET failed for wait(errno=%d)\n",rc);

 return rc;

Okay, I'll remove this inaccurate description next time.
Thank you.
