There are solid technical reasons (a) why libata drivers include scsi.h,
and (b) why all libata drivers look similar. It -impedes- maintenance
to have one libata driver different from all the others, and this is
what you are suggesting.
Your suggestion causes nothing but additional work, for zero gain: as I
have explained, all the scsi.h includes will go away at the same time.
Such as sweep would catch all libata drivers, including sata_mv.
Until you're willing to step up and help with 2.4.x maintenance, you're
just being an impediment for non-technical reasons. If you want to do
that, join politics and become a politician. I have real work to do.
Jeff
