2.6.24-rc3-git6: Reported regressions from 2.6.23

2.6.24-rc3-git6: Reported regressions from 2.6.23

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

This message contains a list of some regressions from 2.6.23 which have been
reported since 2.6.24-rc1 was released and for which there are no fixes in the
mainline that I know of.  If any of them have been fixed already, please let me
know.

If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.23, please let me know
either and I'll add them to the list.

For details, please follow the links given in references.

As you can see, there is a Bugzilla entry for each of the listed regressions.
There also is a Bugzilla entry used for tracking the regressions from 2.6.23,
unresolved as well as resolved, at:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9243

Please let me know if there are any Bugzilla entries that should be added to
the list in there.

Thanks,
Rafael

Tejun's rework of cable detection code which fixes the problem has
been just applied into "upstream" (not "upstream-fixes") so it is
destined for 2.6.25 (I wasn't on cc: BTW) and since I got no feedback
on my patch (below) which also happens to fix the regression, was
acked by Alan, tested by Thomas and has been in -mm for 3 weeks now
I assume that everybody is happy with it (Jeff/Tejun: you were also
on cc: when the patch was merged into -mm)...

Linus, please apply.

[PATCH] pata_amd/pata_via: de-couple programming of PIO/MWDMA and UDMA timings

* Don't program UDMA timings when programming PIO or MWDMA modes.

  This has also a nice side-effect of fixing regression added by commit
  681c80b5d96076f447e8101ac4325c82d8dce508 ("libata: correct handling of
  SRST reset sequences") (->set_piomode method for PIO0 is called before
  ->cable_detect method which checks UDMA timings to get the cable type).

* Bump driver version.

I wasn't too sure about the fix because this doesn't deal with many
cases where 40C cables are detected as 80C but it should definitely fix
the specific regression && looks sane for #upstream too.

Thanks.
