Subject: Port-Multiplier hotplug support: ATA_FLAG_AN
Date: Tue, 13 May 2008 18:50:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <482A1B41.50507@rtr.ca> (raw)

Tejun,

Apparently the newer (GenIIe) sata_mv chips *can* support asynchronous
notification without problems.  Some/all of the older ones cannot (errata).

So, I've done the one-liner change in sata_mv, to add ATA_FLAG_AN to
the 7042 and 6042 chips, and it all seems to work rather nicely.

Am I missing something?  Is there any other local code to sata_mv
that should be provided before setting ATA_FLAG_AN ?

Like I said, it works, but I just want to check whether any other
pieces are expected to be present? 

Cheers

Mark
