Subject: is there a value to CONFIG_NO_ATA_LEGACY?
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 14:44:16 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.1.00.0802101442240.14742@localhost.localdomain> (raw)


  in drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:

...
#if defined(CONFIG_NO_ATA_LEGACY)
                /* Some platforms with PCI limits cannot address compat
                   port space. In that case we punt if their firmware has
                   left a device in compatibility mode */
                if (legacy_mode) {
                        printk(KERN_ERR "ata: Compatibility mode ATA is not supported on this platform, skipping.\n");
                        return -EOPNOTSUPP;
                }
#endif
...

  there is no Kconfig file that defines that variable -- should that
test be removed?  or is something eventually coming that defines it?
