From: Kristen Accardi Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 23:15:33 +0000 (-0500) Subject: libata-acpi: allow _GTF on SATA, but disable on PATA for now X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc4~58^2 X-Git-Url: http://pileus.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df33c77e3981e71afc8727ee5c432ba1a1bba68c;p=~andy%2Flinux libata-acpi: allow _GTF on SATA, but disable on PATA for now The ACPI specification states, and BIOS implementations depend on, _STM being called before _GTF. SATA does this, but PATA does not. So for now, simply prevent execution of _GTF on PATA devices. Longer term we should implement ACPI support for PATA devices in libata.
