[PATCH 1/2 take #2] libata: Support PIO polling-only hosts.

[PATCH 1/2 take #2] libata: Support PIO polling-only hosts.

[Paul Mundt]

By default ata_host_activate() expects a valid IRQ in order to
successfully register the host. This patch enables a special case
for registering polling-only hosts that either don't have IRQs
or have buggy IRQ generation (either in terms of handling or
sensing), which otherwise work fine.

Hosts that want to use polling mode can simply set ATA_FLAG_PIO_POLLING
and pass in an invalid IRQ.

[PATCH 2/2 take #2] libata: pata_platform: Support polling-mode configuration.

[Paul Mundt]

Some SH boards (old R2D-1 boards) have generally not had working CF
under libata, due to both buswidth issues (handled by Aoi Shinkai
in 43f4b8c7578b928892b6f01d374346ae14e5eb70), and buggy interrupt
controllers. For these sorts of boards simply disabling the IRQ and
polling ends up working fine.

This conditionalizes the IRQ resource for pata_platform and lets
platforms that want to use polling mode simply omit the resource
entirely.

May need to tweak polled isapnp support (or add it) to avoid the WARN but
I will take care of it
