Subject: Reorder sata_nv amongst SATA drivers
Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 13:17:23 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041201021723.GA1001@zax> (raw)
Andrew, please apply. Hardly a big deal, but makes life a little
nicer.
Moves the sata_nv (NForce) driver earlier in the Makefile, so that it
will be scanned earlier than other drivers. Since this SATA
controller is in the NForce integrated chipset, it's very likely to be
considered the "primary" controller on motherboards which also have
another SATA controller (e.g. the ASUS K8N-E, which has a Silicon
Image SATA/RAID controller too, handled by the sata_sil driver).
Therefore, it makes sense to list it early, so that Linux's (default)
idea of the order of devices won't be confusingly different from order
that the BIOS thinks they belong in.
