The short answer is that "Alan Cox says not in libata", the longer one can be found: http://www.archivum.info/linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/2008-07/msg00410.html > > Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@xxxxxxxxx> > > > > Index: linux-2.6.27-rc6-cats1/drivers/pci/quirks.c > > =================================================================== > > --- linux-2.6.27-rc6-cats1.orig/drivers/pci/quirks.c 2008-09-11 11:26:35.000000000 +0100 > > +++ linux-2.6.27-rc6-cats1/drivers/pci/quirks.c 2008-09-12 12:18:05.000000000 +0100 > > @@ -905,6 +905,34 @@ static void __devinit quirk_svwks_csb5id > > } > > DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY(PCI_VENDOR_ID_SERVERWORKS, PCI_DEVICE_ID_SERVERWORKS_CSB5IDE, quirk_svwks_csb5ide); > > > > +/* Some systems set the ALI M5229 in the ALI M1543 bridge to native mode, > > + * which cannot be supported by the pata_ali.c driver (the old drivers/ide > > + * makes a compatibility effort to change the IDE interrupts). > > + */ > > +static void __devinit quirk_ali_ide_compatibility(struct pci_dev *pdev) > > +{ > > + u8 tmp; > > + > > + /* pdev->irq and pdev->pin have yet to be initialised, so check > > + * by reading from the configuration header to see if we've got > > + * a valid interrupt line. */ > > + > > + pci_read_config_byte(pdev, PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE, &tmp); > > + if (tmp != 0xff) > > + return; > > + > > + pci_read_config_byte(pdev, PCI_CLASS_PROG, &tmp); > > + if (tmp & 0x5) { > > + dev_info(&pdev->dev, "quirk: changing to IDE compatibility mode\n"); > > + > > + tmp &= ~0x05; > > + pdev->class &= ~0x05; > > + pci_write_config_byte(pdev, PCI_CLASS_PROG, tmp); > > + } > > +} > > + > > +DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY(PCI_VENDOR_ID_AL, PCI_DEVICE_ID_AL_M5229, quirk_ali_ide_compatibility); > > + > > /* > > * Intel 82801CAM ICH3-M datasheet says IDE modes must be the same > > */ > > > > -- > > Ben (ben@xxxxxxxxx, http://www.fluff.org/) > > > > 'a smiley only costs 4 bytes' > > -- > > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in > > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > -- > Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre > "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this > operating system, but compare it to ours.
