Sidenote:

I have neither the hardware nor much personal interest in adding support
for it so I did it mainly cause:

- IDE host driver wasn't merged due to policy change and I hate seeing fair
  amount of review work from me & Sergei going into waste. :)

- I was curious about some claims I've been hearing recently so I decided to
  verify them in practice (porting the driver to libata was relatively easy
  but unfortunately in the process it gained almost 50% in the LOC count..).

so if somebody would like to take over this patch feel free to do it.


Thanks for doing this. I'll see if I can dig out a hard-drive and give
this a test. I had some comments, but I will fix them up myself if I get
round to testing this.

Hi,

Thanks for pushing this one up to the kernel and Bart, for the extensive rework made to support libata.

Unfornately, since the last patch I send for approval, I haven't had much time to continue this work; as a matter of fact, the work I was developing with the EP9315 processor is done, and I am no longer working on it (for now, I suppose), so I hadn't much time to work on this and to further improve the patch for submission; so I must thank Bart for giving this patch another try and finishing it.
The important thing is that it didn't get lost in the middle and the EP93xx users can use this functionallity in their EP93xx-based boards.

If I have an opportunity, I will try to check if everything is ok (I'll have to dig up my EDB9315A board somewhere in the old project's box :) )

Once again, thanks for finishing this patch.

Joao Ramos
