    MIPS: lemote2f_defconfig: Convert to use libata PATA drivers · 7ff7a5b1
    Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
    IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority
    (if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use
    libata for ATA support exclusively.  However there are still
    some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that
    have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA
    drivers.  This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term
    for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left
    in use:
    
    * testing efforts are divided between two subsystems
    
    * having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users
    
    This patch converts lemote2f_defconfig to use libata PATA
    drivers.
    
    PS This platform uses CS5536 chipset which (due to historical
    reasons) has basic support in AMD/nVidia PATA host driver and
    full support in a newer CS5536 PATA one (pata_cs5536).  Thus
    most likely this platform should switch to using the latter
    host driver.
