That is correct. I was that complainer and reported that the patch works for me: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/15/175 Also, the patch went into the next -rc kernel that time.

I would really love to use Marvell controller: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0602.2/0914.html I'd be very happy to test any patches and will report how they do. -- Humilis IT Services and Solutions http://www.humilis.net
