Then it should use the new & shiny :) native cs5536 IDE host driver
instead of legacy support in amd74xx...

AFAICS the only change that the fixup would cause for suspend/resume paths
is the one in ide_config_drive_speed() which is called during resume to set
transfer mode on the drive:

       tp_ops->write_devctl(hwif, ATA_NIEN | ATA_DEVCTL_OBS);

        memset(&tf, 0, sizeof(tf));
        tf.feature = SETFEATURES_XFER;
        tf.nsect   = speed;

        tp_ops->tf_load(drive, &tf, IDE_VALID_FEATURE | IDE_VALID_NSECT);

        tp_ops->exec_command(hwif, ATA_CMD_SET_FEATURES);
--->
        if (drive->quirk_list == 2)
                tp_ops->write_devctl(hwif, ATA_DEVCTL_OBS);
--->
        error = __ide_wait_stat(drive, drive->ready_stat,
                                ATA_BUSY | ATA_DRQ | ATA_ERR,
                                WAIT_CMD, &stat);

Please tell me I if understand the issue correctly: if the above quirk is
not executed we end up with spurious IRQs, right?

Probably moving it to a generic quirk_drives list later will be useful...

Anyway this fixup needs to be ported to / verified with cs5536 first.

Thanks.
