Hello, I wrote:

Also, what mmio-ide in the compat properly means in the context of ide_platform which is able to handle both port and memory mapped IDE.

I/O-space is only valid in the context of PCI, ISA, or similar buses, and
the bus-specific reg format indicates whether it's mmio-space or
io-space.

You could save time on lecturing me (and use it to look on the driver ;-).

Sorry, I misread the question as being a mismatch between the capabilities of the device binding and the driver, not about the specific compatible name.

    That too. :-)

Something like "generic-ide" would probably be better.

I strongly disagree with "generic" part. The generic IDE could only be said of 1:1 I/O mapped IDE ports, not about this fancy mapping.

   BTW, there's already something called drivers/ide/ide-generic.c... :-)

MBR, Sergei
