Re: [PATCH] PCI: add a quirk for keeping Bus Master bit on shutdown

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If this turns out to be a problem specific to Acer V573G, we can simply
wrap the if (pdev->...) line in ata/ahci.c with if
(dmi_check_system(acer_v573g))
so that only acer v573g laptops will be affected by this patch. The remaining
part of the patch won't need to be changed.

I can do an updated one as soon as it is confirmed that this is an acer specific
issue.
