<pre wrap="">Sidenote:
I have neither the hardware nor much personal interest in adding support
for it so I did it mainly cause:
- IDE host driver wasn't merged due to policy change and I hate seeing fair
amount of review work from me & Sergei going into waste. :)
- I was curious about some claims I've been hearing recently so I decided to
verify them in practice (porting the driver to libata was relatively easy
but unfortunately in the process it gained almost 50% in the LOC count..).
so if somebody would like to take over this patch feel free to do it.

Thanks for doing this. I'll see if I can dig out a hard-drive and give
this a test. I had some comments, but I will fix them up myself if I get
round to testing this.

Hi,<br>
<br>
Thanks for pushing this one up to the kernel and Bart, for the
extensive rework made to support libata.<br>
<br>
Unfornately, since the last patch I send for approval, I haven't had
much time to continue this work; as a matter of fact, the work I was
developing with the EP9315 processor is done, and I am no longer
working on it (for now, I suppose), so I hadn't much time to work on
this and to further improve the patch for submission; so I must thank
Bart for giving this patch another try and finishing it.<br>
The important thing is that it didn't get lost in the middle and the
EP93xx users can use this functionallity in their EP93xx-based boards.<br>
<br>
If I have an opportunity, I will try to check if everything is ok (I'll
have to dig up my EDB9315A board somewhere in the old project's box :) )<br>
<br>
Once again, thanks for finishing this patch.<br>
<br>
Joao Ramos<br>
