kernel support for Marvell 88SE614x chipset

[Evan_D]

Hi

Is any work being done on implementing kernel support for the Marvell 
88SE614x  chipset?

Asus have released source code drivers for the chipset to accompany the 
ASUS P5WDG2 WS Professional motherboard (Marvell 88SE6141 chipset).  The 
source is available for download @ 
http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/ide/marvell6141/61xx_SATA_linux.zip.  
Being a relatively newcomer to Linux I've not managed to successfully 
compile and install the drivers.

In any event, if kernel support is in the wings hopefully the linked 
source is of some use.

Marvell provided some docs recently

Well it seems to be a 50MB tar ball that actually just adds the Marvell
device id to a copy of ahci.c

Something like this ought to work
