    Nevertheless, it's quite an old rule already.

    No, it doesn't.

    I'd call ata_timing_find_mode(XFER_PIO_0) rather than duplicating the 
ata_timing entry. But really, you shouldn't set any timing for an invalid mode 
and, as I said, you won't be passed one, so there's nor much sense in calling 
ata_timing_compute() and checking its result; anyway, you'd want to call 
ata_timing_find_mode() here instead of ata_timing_compute() because the latter 
returns already quantized timings, but initial_timing is not quantized, you'll 
have to call ata_timing_compute() in pata_s3c_setup_timing() anyway.

    This function does exist, if I don't mistake...

    I don't know devres librarry capabilities well. Tejun, am I right?

    The sent patch had them, nevertheless.
