Subject: [PATCH v2] ata_piix: unify code for programming PIO and MWDMA timings

Besides making things noticably simpler it results in ~2% decrease in
the driver LOC count and also ~2% decrease in the driver binary size
(as measured on x86-32).

Fix piix_set_piomode() documentation while at it.

Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz<bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx>

I'm still inclined to NAK this patch.

Don't think you should remove this.

But you should also clear the UDMA enable bit when setting an MWDMA mode, no?

Still don't understand why you're removing this code.

-
- pci_write_config_word(dev, master_port, master_data);
+ /* XFER_PIO_0 is never used currently */
+ piix_set_timings(ap, adev, pio);
}
- /* Don't scribble on 0x48 if the controller does not support UDMA */
- if (ap->udma_mask)
- pci_write_config_byte(dev, 0x48, udma_enable);

Should have kept this one too...

We still have following code at the end of piix_set_timings():

/* Ensure the UDMA bit is off - it will be turned back on if
UDMA is selected */

if (ap->udma_mask) {
pci_read_config_byte(dev, 0x48,&udma_enable);
udma_enable&= ~(1<< (2 * ap->port_no + adev->devno));
pci_write_config_byte(dev, 0x48, udma_enable);
}

so everything should be OK.

Ah, I should have looked... Didn't expect it to be there, and it in fact shouldn't be there, but now I'm OK with your patch. :-)

WBR, Sergei
