[PATCH] siimage: fix wrong ->swdma_mask
This driver doesn't support SWDMA so use the correct ->swdma_mask.
While at it:
* no need to call config_chipset_for_pio() in config_chipset_for_dma(), if DMA is not available config_chipset_for_pio() will be called by siimage_config_drive_for_dma() and if DMA is available config_siimage_chipset_for_pio() will be called by siimage_tune_chipset()
Ugh, this driver has such a messy code PIO-wise! There seems to be completely no point in calling config_siimage_chipset_for_pio() from siimage_tune_chipset(). Not mentioning that tuneproc() method fails to actually control IORDY (it only twiddles IORDY bits for taskfile access). Ah, and tuneproc() fails to set the drive's own mode (as usual)... :-)
Oh, I knew I was going to forget something: it's also limiting the PIO mode to the one of the slowest drive for no good reason. :-/
I was going to post patches but then figured out that we don't actually support this driver, so the priority has significatly dropped. :-)
Does it mean that I should expect more patches for other drivers? ;-)
Certainly. We're just having a release fever, so I had to switch to fixing the stupid network drivers (where the breakage wasn't so obvious).
If so I could take care of this one... :-)
Please do. :-)
