[PATCH] ata_piix.c: check PCI sub-class code before AHCI disabling

[Greg Felix]

This patch adds functionality to check the PCI sub-class code of an
AHCI capable device before disabling AHCI.  It fixes a bug where an
ICH7 sata controller is being setup by the BIOS as sub-class 1 (ide)
and the AHCI control registers weren't being initialized, thus causing
an IO error in piix_disable_ahci().

Thanks,
Greg Felix

Applied to 2.6.x, and uploads to 'upstream' branch of libata-dev.git.

Will apply to 2.4.x as soon as Marcelo pulls what I just submitted.

Greg:

I think I have the same hardware that you have (Intel ICH7 SATA, PCI ID
8086:27c0). I can confirm that the ata_piix driver fails for me without
your patch. I get the same error message:

	ata_piix: probe of 0000:00:1f.2 failed with error -5


With your patch things work properly. I have the ATA controller set to
"separate controller mode" in the BIOS.



Jeff, should this patch be a candidate for inclusion in libata?
