    MIPS: e55_defconfig: Convert to use libata PATA drivers · 5c2a53a1
    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 e55_defconfig to use libata PATA drivers.
    
    PS This platform still uses "ide0=base[,ctl[,irq]]" hack in
    its defconfig.  The hack itself has been removed in 2008 and
    this platform should be converted to using PATA platform host
    driver (pata_platform) instead.
