Was macide the only IDE driver in Debian/m68k kernels without a libata
alternative? If so, this patch would allow you to finally drop
CONFIG_IDE.
There's still q40ide.c (ISA IDE interface, byte-swapped, so would need
treatment similar to Falcon IDE). Hasn't been updated to a platform
device yet.
AIUI, q40 support is not included in Debian/m68k kernel builds.
I see.
I wonder whether q40 could re-use the pata_falcon driver . I suppose
I'm pretty sure it could, but there is no reason why it would have to be
crippled in that way. Interrupts should work perfectly fine with IDE on
Q40.
There is another reason why using the same module binary for both might
fail - the awkward address translation code in io_mm.h. Not certain at
all whether we can even have Q40 and Atari in the same kernel binary...
That's supposed to work, else our multi_defconfig is broken.
