The correct fix is to remove the (experimental) from the Parallel ATA
drivers Kconfig

For the rest of the menu the list is SATA first, then PATA (and PATA is
roughly alphabetic but both want a tidy)

  asked from a position of appalling ignorance, but would it be more
organized to be able to select serial ATA functionality separately
from parallel ATA?  i ask only because the current (lengthy) menu
seems to randomly mix them together and, more significantly, serial
ATA is categorized as production level, while parallel ATA is still
tagged as experimental.  just wondering ...

rday

p.s.  it's also amusing to see that things in that menu graduate from
"EXPERIMENTAL" to "Very Experimental" to "HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL".  i'm
scared to see where this goes next.  :-)

  that definitely sounds like a job for the real ATA people.  i'll
leave it to them.

Cleanup Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers Kconfig

Sort the menu items as suggested by Alan Cox, I left the platform
devices at the end, poetic license with 'Older Promise', and of
course where should Intel's ICH ... PATA/SATA go?

Made the 'If unsure...' look alike and added missing entry.

Should 'SATA Port Multiplier support' default to 'Y'?  Because it
at present, is I added If unsure, say 'Y' to it.  Doesn't seem
right though...  Compile tested on x86_64.

As noted, it's both PATA and SATA. People searching for PATA-only PIIX
support may have trouble locating it under SATA.

Why not remove ATA SFF support visual option (or leave it for optional
off-tree drivers only, if it makes sense) and SELECT it when any
driver using it is selected? I'm not sure that users know they need
SFF, or what's that.

I think I would also ask for PATA and for SATA first:

[*] PATA support
[*] SATA support
... PATA drivers if "PATA support" is selected
... SATA drivers if "SATA support" is selected
... PIIX is PATA and/or SATA support is selected

I guess all PATA and/or SATA drivers in a single sorted list (so PIIX
doesn't break ordering).

  that was sort my original thought, but i don't know enough about ATA
fundamentals to know if it makes sense for these to be independently
selectable.  that's why i nobly bailed and left it for someone else to
do the actual work.  :-)

Alas it does not or we would have done so. A lot of the chips have things
like 'two SATA one PATA' and some of them have SATA and PATA variants of
the same chip. Then we have generic drivers like ata_generic which really
don't care if its SATA or PATA ..

at this point, i'll back away slowly and leave it for someone way
smarter than me to decide on.  at the very least, most of those
EXPERIMENTAL tags can be heaved over the side.

Then I would enable them if SATA _or_ PATA is selected. Something like
the following. Then the driver list (one common list) could be sorted,
ATA_SFF moved to the end etc.

It complicates the Kconfig, I don't know if users' experience is worth
it in the end.

I'm not sure about IXP4XX_CF (compact flash) case, it's essentially
PATA but the physical interface is a bit different and it may be
confusing(?). Also not sure about Pacific Digital ADMA, is it
PATA-only or both?

CF can hang off any interface. Also in theory any PATA interface is also
SATA as it may be combined with a bridge chip

But we don't drop PATA/SATA from the names and help texts, do we? :-)

Even if we do, we can still sort the single driver list
alphabetically, and we can still "select ATA_SFF" instead of the other

From: Grant Coady <gcoady.lk@gmail.com>

Cleanup ATA Kconfig, this patch replaces earlier RFC patches.

Cleanup ATA Kconfig, hide the SFF option behind new PATA and SATA menu
items, sort drivers into a single list, add missing "if unsure, say..."
help text, this version gets the items indented in make menuconfig, some
inconsistent text resolved, and one long (>80 col) help line split.

Hi there,
Like try3 only the right patch this time, somehow I scrambled try3.
Grant.

From: Grant Coady <gcoady.lk@gmail.com>

Cleanup ATA Kconfig, this patch replaces earlier RFC patches.

Cleanup ATA Kconfig, hide the SFF option behind new PATA and SATA menu
items, sort drivers into a single list, add missing "if unsure, say..."
help text, this version gets the items indented in make menuconfig, some
inconsistent text resolved, and one long (>80 col) help line split.
