Subject: [PATCH] libata: warn if speed limited due to 40-wire cable (v2)
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 18:45:40 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45DA44B4.6000209@shaw.ca> (raw)

Here's a revised version of my previous patch to warn the user if a
drive's transfer rate is limited because of a 40-wire cable detection.
This one hopefully addresses Alan's previous comments - we now do this
at the very end of the function, and the ugly if condition has been
cleaned up somewhat. Also, it's been inadvertently tested (it seems that
pata_amd Nvidia cable detection is broken in current -git..)
