<title>libata: New driver for OCTEON SOC Compact Flash interface (v7).</title>

Cavium OCTEON processor support was recently merged, so now we have
this CF driver for your consideration.

Most OCTEON variants have *no* DMA or interrupt support on the CF
interface so for these, only PIO is supported.  Although if DMA is
available, we do take advantage of it.

This patch adds MDMA/UDMA support using BestComm for DMA on the MPC5200
platform.  Based heavily on previous work by Freescale (Bernard Kuhn,
John Rigby) and Domen Puncer.

With this patch, a SanDisk Extreme IV CF card gets read speeds of
approximately 26.70 MB/sec.

the special case in the PATA_PLATFORM configuration code.

<title>ahci, pata_marvell: play nicely together</title>

<id>5b66c829bf5c65663b2f68ee6b42f6e834cd39cd</id>
<content type='text'>
I've been chasing Jeff about this for months.  Jeff added the Marvell
device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.

This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!

This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.

To quote Jeff in email

&gt; "Just switch the order of 'ahci' and 'pata_marvell' in
&gt; /etc/modprobe.conf, then use Fedora's tools regenerate the initrd.

&gt; See?  It's not rocket science, and the current configuration can be
&gt; easily made to work for Fedora users."

(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)

To quote Jeff in August 2007

&gt; "   mv-ahci-pata
&gt; Marvell 6121/6141 PATA support.  Needs fixing in the 'PATA controller
&gt; command' area before it is usable, and can go upstream."

Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.

The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

While doing some easy cleanups on the sparc code I noticed that the
CONFIG_SUN4 code seems to be worse than the rest - there were some
"I don't know how it should work, but the current code definitely cannot
work." places.

And while I have seen people running Linux on machines like a
SPARCstation 5 a few years ago I don't recall having seen sun4
machines, even less ones running Linux.
