   I'll probably rephrase this a bit in v2...

   There's something to be confused about this driver vs its Kconfig option
naming: the driver is called pata_piccolo.c and its option CONFIG_PATA_TOSHIBA.
However, Toshiba seemingly has more than one family of the PATA controllers:
there's also TC86C001 PCI multi-function chip (dubbed GOKU-S by Toshiba) which
supports up to UDMA66 and doesn't seem compatible with Piccolo, judging by the
driver code and Toshiba GOKU-S datasheet I have: the timing regs are mapped @
AR5 and not in the PCI config space, like with the Piccolo chips.
   If somebody like me (it was me who submitted the reworked Toshiba's TC86C001
driver for drivers/ide/ back in 2007) added TC86C001 libata driver, the confusion
would probably worsen... :-/ Luckily, the chip is a bit tricky (I had to somewhat
abuse drivers/ide/ to work around some "limitations", as Toshiba calls their errata)
and I don't have access to the chip to properly test the driver anymore.  Obviously, there should be a little interest now in adding the "new" PATA drivers... :-)
   Any thoughts on the naming confusion?

   Makes sense, indeed. Do you think this is acceptable to be done in v2 of this
patch?
