Hello,
hibernation didn't work for me since I started to use IT8212 controller. Now I 
did some debugging (booting with no_console_suspend init=/bin/sh).

Found that resume fails (2.6.28) with "serial number mismatch 'some 
garbage' != 'some other garbage'" and "revalidation failed" messages. That's 
because the controller firmware fills different serial number in the IDENTIFY 
every boot.

The patch below fixes the resume simply clearing the serial number. The proper 
fix would be probably to fill in the serial number of the RAID volume 
instead. I assume that there must be something like that stored on the drives 
but I don't know where.


Fix resume on pata_it821x RAID volume by clearing the serial number in 
IDENTIFY data, which is otherwise different on each boot.

Yes, found it there. But it seems to be the same number as present in the 
IDENTIFY data. It contains date and time of boot (matches RAID_SERIAL_NUMBER 
structure found in iteraid.h in driver source from ITE) instead of date and 
time of RAID creation.

I don't have any better solution than the patch below. Generating the serial
number from drives containing the array is not an option as it prevents
resume if one of the drives fails.


Fix resume on pata_it821x RAID volume by clearing the serial number in 
IDENTIFY data. The serial number is different on each boot, breaking
validation on resume from hibernation.
