[PATCH fixes for 3.17 0/2] uas: Disable uas on ASM1051 devices

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

 



Hi Greg,

I've received a number of bug-reports from users related to uas on ASM1051
chipset using devices. After some searching around I've managed to get myself
an ASM1051 device.

As a result I've spend the last 4 days trying to get the ASM1051 chipset to
work. After some initial success which makes it work with most disks I've
laying around (patch 1), I hit problems with one disk where it just would
not work.

To makes matters worse the ASM1051 chipset shares its usb-id with older
versions of the ASM1053, which works fine with all disks.

So I've come up with a patch which disables uas on all ASM1051 devices and on
some ASM1053 devices. Both the need to blacklist and the actual blacklisting
code are less then satisfactory, esp. after 4 days of work. But this is the
best I can come up with :|

It seems that older uas-bridge chips and xhci controllers streams support are
suffering from quite a few hw bugs, and that blacklisting is the best we can
do.

Regards,

Hans
