[PATCH] ide-cd: fix endianity for the error message in cdrom_read_capacity

[Petr Tesarik]

Aesthetic regards aside, commit e8e7b9eb11c34ee18bde8b7011af41938d1ad667
still leaves a bug in the error message, because it uses the unconverted
big-endian value for printk.

Fix this by using a local variable in machine byte order. The result is
correct, more readable, and also produces slightly shorter code on i386.

[PATCH] ide-cd: fix endianity for the error message in cdrom_read_capacity

Resent because of a typo in the LKML address. :(

still leaves a bug in the error message, because it uses the unconverted
big-endian value for printk.

Bart owns this patch now.  It got lost for a month and it has already
been fixed twice and it is also on the route to 2.6.25.x and 2.6.26.x,
so it'll get complicated.  Not a happy little patch.

What one?  Do you have a git commit id?

And please, send stable requests to stable@kernel.org, otherwise they
have a tendancy to get lost in my horrible inbox these days...

Oh, sorry about that. Ok, you should have in both 2.6.25 and .26 the patch with
upstream commit id e8e7b9eb11c34ee18bde8b7011af41938d1ad667. I rediffed the new
one on top, here's the 2.6.26 version, the 2.6.25 one follows.

The usual policy is to not apply to -stable patches which are not in
Linus' tree so please notify stable@kernelorg team after patch hits
mainline.

Re: [PATCH] ide-cd: fix endianity for the error message in cdrom_read_capacity

big-endian value for printk.

Fix this by using a local variable in machine byte order. The result is
correct, more readable, and also produces slightly shorter code on i386.

Please put a Cc: <stable@kernel.org> into the changelog.  Then the
stable people will notice it when Linus commits it.

I need the patch id when this goes to Linus, in his tree.  If you add

into Linus's tree, we will be automatically notified of it.

Bart already did that. It's now in his pata-2.6 tree.
