Both patches share the same history, and probably Unfortunately it is not updated version of Jaya's patch but the updated version of the original 2.6.x patch and it misses 2 iterations of bugfixes/cleanups: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=112832700817260&w=2 >>From what I see the main differences between _original_ patch and this one are: * /proc/ide/cs5535 (sorry but new /proc bloat won't be accepted) * different way of setting PIO command timings (but this method won't ever set timings > 0 if initially timings were bad) * trusting BIOS to set correct mode also on drive's side (this breaks Power Management support and I will prefer to have known state from Linux POV) It would be the best to join efforts so could somebody from AMD take a look at Jaya's latest patch and read related linux-ide ML thread?
