The AT91SAM9 microcontrollers with master clock higher then 105 MHz
and PIO0, have overflow of the NCS_RD_PULSE value in the MSB. This
lead to "NCS_RD_PULSE" pulse longer then "NRD_CYCLE" pulse and driver
does not detect IDE device.
The overflow happens because MSB (bit 6) is multiplied by 256.
NCS pulse length = 256*NCS_RD_PULSE[6] + NCS_RD_PULSE[5:0] clock
cycles. So NCS_RD_PULSE 0x41 gives 257 clock cycles not 65 as we
expected before. Static memory controller behaviour is undefined
when pulse length is bigger than cycle length, so things not work.

I'm fine with that fix. We can possibly still have problems with higher
frequencies, but I'm not sure if someone will use that hardware with
faster clocks.
I looked at patch again and change mind, I'm not ok with it. EBI NCS in
this case controls compact flash CS0, CS1 signals, so NCS pulse define
a cycle on IDE bus. IDE cycle length can not be smaller than t0 (from
PIO Mode Timing Diagram), otherwise we do not conform spec.

IMHO what should be done in case of overflow is increase NCS pulse time
(IDE cycle) and in consequence overall SMC cycle time. Below draw patch
how this could be done. I do not even tried to compile it (give up with
that since I do not have hardware to test anyway), just idea how things
could be possibly done.

Unfortunately, yours patch can't work correctly because it does not consider all details, but I understand yours idea and fix pata_at91.c driver.
You can look to email with "[PATCH] ATA: pata_at91.c bugfixes" subject for details.

Best regards!
