[PATCH] 2.5.8 IDE 38
- Fix typo in ide_cmd_ioctl(). - Fix typo in cris driver. - Don't retry operations on medium errors. (pointed out by Eric Andersen). - Attach the no_io_32bit, io_32bit, no_unmask, unmask and slow fields to the ata_channel instead of the ata_device structure. They are a property of the channel and not just the devices attached to it. This allowed us to fix the set_io_32bit function by removing the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DTC2278 conditional. In fact initialization shows that this is fixing many other host chipsets as well since all of them did expect sometimes particular values for those parameters in paralell on both drives attached to a channel but we where allowed to apply different values on a per drive basis. - The keep_settings flag is now unconditional and we don't mess with any channel parameters before drive reset. Some chipsets really really expect unconditionally that the tweaks they apply are always present and this wasn't honoured thus far! We are expecting the user to have good reasons for manually tweaking the settings. - Don't reset io_32bit in ata_pre_reset() unconditionally. There are chipsets out there which expect io_32bit to be *allways* enabled! - Remove many obsolete and nawadays just confusing documentation from ide.txt
