Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> reported that with the first
patch applied, he still encountered troubles when doing kexec with eata
devices. Quote Arthur's report:
To clarify, if the eata driver gets loaded once and stays loaded, at a
kexec reboot attempt the "Synchronising SCSI cache" message is missing
for the SCSI disk attached to the controller using the eata driver and
eventually other error messages appear as seen in screen images that
I have previously posted at
http://www.users.on.net/~arthur.marsh/20150915547.jpg.
If the eata driver is loaded, unloaded via modprobe -r, then reloaded,
a kexec reboot shows 2 "Synchronising SCSI cache" messages for the SCSI
disk attached to the controller using the eata driver and the kexec
reboot is successful.
For more details, please refer to thread at:

First I thought we could solve this issue by implementing a shutdown
callback to reset eata controllers when rebooting, but it turns out
that this patch doesn't really help. And due to limited knowledge about
eata controllers and lack of hardware for tests, helps from eata experts
are really welcomed!
