Hi Bartlomiej,

Thank you very much for your review!

Question below.

This should be done only for type == BOARD_XSURF.

Agreed, as I want to keep unloading functional for Buddha/Catweasel - see below.


+static struct zorro_driver pata_buddha_driver = {
+	.name           = "pata_buddha",
+	.id_table       = pata_buddha_zorro_tbl,
+	.probe          = pata_buddha_probe,
+	.remove         = pata_buddha_remove,

I think that we should also add:

	.driver  = {
		.suppress_bind_attrs = true,
	},

to prevent the device from being unbinded (and thus ->remove called)
from the driver using sysfs interface.

Interesting idea - here's my question now:

My intention is to allow remove() for boards where we support IDE only (Buddha, Catweasel) - these are autoprobed via zorro_register_driver().
This shouldn't affect the X-Surf case, as it's not autoprobed in this way anyway - and thus pata_buddha_driver isn't even used.

Am I missing something? We want to inhibit module unloading (hence no module_exit()), but driver unbinding for Buddha/Catweasel should be fine to remain, right?


Please also always check your patches with scripts/checkpatch.pl and
fix the reported issues:

Apologies, must've been something in my coffee. I will.


Thanks for the review, I'll send a new patch once my question above is resolved.
